I purchased boots twice. 1st time as per description/comments, I bought 1/2 a size down and the shoe was way to tight.  Figured all I need to do was wear it for a day to break it in, but it didn't help and my feet was sore for a week. So, now I went 1/2 a size up and the right boot fits perfectly, but the left boot the insoles center arch is totally off; it's like too far down almost touching my toes, causing a tight tension in the area. Honestly I heard nothing but good reviews and seriously wanted to just enjoy a good pair of Thursdays.
