I normally wear a 10-10.5, and after reading the reviews that said to order a size up, I'm glad I did. I got the 11s and they fit perfectly with a little wiggle room for socks.

I was hesitant to order a leather boot from a fashion shoe brand. I was worried they would be cheaply made and flimsy, but I was wrong. They are sturdy, very well-made, warm, and absolutely beautiful.

I did have to punch three more holes in each upper strap to keep them looking like I wanted (not totally stitched up like a combat boot but not flapping open at the top, either) but it wasn't a big deal at all. The straps do feel a little thin, but unless you're putting these boots through some serious heavy outdoor use (like farm work), they should be fine.
