I just got these a few weeks ago, and I have been very pleased so far.  The leather seems to be of high quality, and the construction of these boots seems solid.  I wear a size 10 in dress shoes but found that a 9.5 in these boots for me correctly.  I suspect this is because of my narrow feet.  If your feet are a normal width, I expect these fit true to size.  I am looking forward to seeing how these look after a year.
