Bought black pair one-half size smaller (11.5 instead of 12) and they fit perfectly.  Leather is supple.  Easier to remove my right boot than left, though my left foot is a smidge smaller.  Getting used to walk.  Never owned boots (since those snow boots we wore as kids).  They'll last a long time and you can wear them almost anywhere.  I don't think you can wear them with Levi's 501s.  Best to try boot cut jeans.
