These boots were exactly what I was looking for. The euro sizing was right on the mark - I wear a 10.5 M. The adjustable buckles are a nice touch, but the shaft is very roomy and comfortable without adjusting. The leather is soft and supple and felt great with the first wear. They are stylish and can go in either direction - dressy or casual.  I liked them so much I ordered them in black after getting this first pair!
