These are my favorite riding boots!! Comfortable from the minute they arrived. A tad stiff around the ankles but that support is what I was looking for. My husband is in love with how sexy they are as am i. They are snug. The size is spot on,  but the width of the foot and opening of the boot is a bit smaller than I expected. I don't mind at all because I have smaller ankles and calves and a very slender foot. But someone with wide feet and larger legs may find them much too tight. They are very sexy, very comfortable riding boots and I'm in love!!
