Excellent boot!  I can't say enough about how nice these boots fit.  I'm retired and don't do a lot, but wearing these boots make my feet happy.  After about a week of breaking in, they feel just great.  I'm hard to fit so I bought a size 13 2E where I normally wear a 12 2E.  I'm glad I bought the larger size.  I like the way the laces go almost to the top but not quite.  This gives you some room to tuck in the laces if you like doing that.  The laces are also long enough to actually use.  I bought a black pair just like these so I can rotate the two and that's working just great.  The black pair fit just like these and look just as good.  I really like the zipper.  I think it will last way beyond the boot.  The zipper cover at the top is simple but very effective and doesn't get in the way of you jeans.  I'll probably buy another pair of these soon.
