Aerosoles seem to have very tight foot areas. I normally get a wide foot but decided to try the medium in this pair. Without socks, the foot fits okay, but with socks they're very tight. I'm hoping a bit of wear will loosen these a bit.

I love Aerosoles boots for their extended calf, but these seem tighter than other extended calf boots like the Margarita Harness boot. The leather in this pair is thicker than most other Aerosoles boots I've had, and I really like the buckles. The buckles do expand a little bit but don't function to make the boot looser. The zipper also gets caught a bit where the buckle patch meets it. After that they zip up pretty easily though.

I'm giving 3 stars because the boot looks great, but the fit is a bit uncomfortable with socks.
