I have the worst feet to fit with work boots. I have the boot plus orthotics to fit. I had to order 3 dif. sizes. i got the right size and ordered 2 more. one of them  the stitching is coming  apart.  But they fit and are leather and made very well. The stitching does not bother me as they are work boots and  i am more concerned with fit.. There is more toe room and a straighter last to shoe (which can be resoled) I think for the price it is an excellent work boot. Time will tell how they hold up. I use silicone spray to waterproof all my boots as i work outdoors and i don't expect any boot to be waterproof unless it is  goretex and that will cost you 2 to 3 times more.
