Boot appears to be very well made with soft, but thick, leather.  Comfortable out of the box; outer sole becomes less stiff within a day.  I ordered my usual size, 9.5D, and glad I did.  The boot is slightly roomy with thin socks, perfect with medium or heavy socks.  This is the most comfortable and sturdiest pair of work shoes I have ever owned.  I like them better than the RWs I have tried on.  Glad to find a made in USA boot.
