These boots were pretty narrow in the toe for me at first, but now that I've worn them a couple times, the leather has given a bit and they are very comfortable. The 10 fit true to size and leaves just enough room to comfortable wear a pair of normal socks or tights with these boots. And the finish on the leather? WOW! It feels like butter. Not suede, but not that slick shine either. Nice chocolate brown color, goes with everything and I can wear them all day without discomfort.
