My husband just received these boots a few days ago. Right out of the box he was able to wear them and commented how nice they fit and the quality of the boot. He wears a size 10.5M and commented they fit true to size. Just so you know...these boots are made in China. I looked everywhere on the internet to find out where they were made and had no luck whatsoever. I wish it were mandatory that companies specify where their products are made for those of us who prefer to support our country. There are several boots made by Thorogood that are made in the USA, these are not. That is the only downside to this boot. He would definitely repurchase this boot.
