I was a little worried after reading the previous review, but I needn't have been concerned.  The boots fit beautifully and they were perfect ie; no scratches or discoloration.  I put them right on out of the box sans socks and walked around for a good 20 minutes.  They fit perfectly.  Maybe I should have sized up to wear heavier socks, but I'm ok with them as is.  I'm thinking about getting the black next:)
