First and foremost, order a half size smaller than your regular shoes.  I wear a 10 in every shoe, including RedWing boots, and ordered the 9 1/2.  It fit perfectly.  As you can read from all the reviews these boots are constructed well, have nice leather, nice soles, etc.  The one warning that I did not see anywhere else is regarding taking a flight and TSA.  I have TSA pre-check and the only reason I got it was to not have to take off my shoes in the security line.  Well I took one flight with these boots and had to take them off on the going and coming back trip.  I'll never wear these when taking a flight again.
