These Thorogood boots are American made and put together with top quality materials and craftsmanship. They are generous in sizing, so if you order your normal size you will have some extra room. If you like your boots to fit snug, then order 1/2 size down. Wienbrenner, the maker of Thorogood boots, has a sizing chart on their website. My left foot, which is slightly larger than my right, measured 11 1/2 inches, which equated to a size 12 boot on their sizing chart. So I ordered the 12 and the fit, with a work sock, is perfection for me. Buy this boot with confidence; you will not be disappointed. Plus I think these boots look great with jeans and will give me many years of good use.
