I have a very high instep which makes many pull-on boots impossible for me. I took a gamble on these because of the style, hoping they might have a wider shaft than most western boots. It was a FIGHT to get them on the first time, but once I got past the shaft they were very comfortable. After wearing them and bending the shaft I can now get them on with reasonable effort, and it is the same day they arrived. I wear a 9.5 B and they fit true to size. I bought mine "slightly used" off ebay, so brand new may take a little longer to stretch. And even though I don' t have a small foot, the chunky style does not make my feet look big. I'm very happy with my purchase and would consider getting a second pair.

Update: It did not take many wearings for these to be much easier to get on. I have worn them all day at work and they are comfortable-- I am considering another pair.
