I have only had the boots on a couple hours but they fit ok right away.  I am sure that other reviewers said they run a bit large and that is true.  The length ran about a half size larger than most.  The width is snug for a wide width but they are soft because of the fabric.  They are not as clunky as the video shows and I am thankful for that.  Now, the pull loop on the back is decorative only.  It broke the second time I put the boots on.  The ankle has no support at all in spite of the velcro and the boot does not allow my orthotic right now, that may change as I wear them in.  They are a very nice looking boot and hopefully hold up well, I bought these instead of the Propet Butte.  Next time I will go for the Buttes for sturdiness sake.
