Got these for my husband for Christmas.  He has no arches & can only wear a very select type of boot/shoe.  The Skechers brand is one that he really likes & his old pair of work boots that he's had forever were literally falling apart.  I was so excited to find these in his size on Amazon.  The chocolate, nu-buck type leather is very nice.  He says they fit true to size & that there is plenty of room in the toe box.  The padding around the top of the boot provides nice cushioning.  These boots even easily accommodate his custom-made orthotic inserts!  They look really good with his jeans too!  They are very substantial without being overly clunky & heavy.  I am hoping that he gets many years of wear out of these.
