You take a chance these days when you mail order boots since most are manufactured outside the U.S. Traditionally, every time you bought a pair of Justin's the size would be consistent with the older pair. Fortunately that was again the case with this pair. My previous Justins were store bought, but the pair I ordered through Amazon were an exact fit also. The only downside for me is the fact they were made in China. For a fellow that's worn Acme's and Tony Lamas and Justins since I was able to walk, wearing a pair of boots made in China just doesn't seem right. However I must say that the quality of the leather and the workmanship is the quality I would expect from Justin boots. So, I recommend these to any boot lover. Your feet will feel right at home in this model.
