I had been looking at these boots forever.  I did not need them.  I have boots in every shape, color and heel height, but I could not stop thinking about these.  I finally showed them to my husband, who usually discourages more boot purchases, and he loved them.  I could not decide on a color; I love them all!  He liked the Walnut, so that is what I ordered.  On my screen, the color looked kind of reddish, but in person they are a rich, beautiful brown.  They have a wonderful patina and I love the darker swirls in the leather.  I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and I ordered a 9.  They fit perfectly with my wool dress socks which are of a medium thickness.  I have 14 inch calves and the fit there is perfect as well.  They are made in America, which I love.  They seem like they will be very durable.  I have not worn them out of the house because it has been so hot outside, but I have worn them around inside just to get a sense of the blister factor.  I seem to have very sensitive feet and always end up with blisters.  These feel great.  The boots also have surprisingly great arch support.  I have plantar fasciitis and always have some measure of heel pain, especially in a flatter heeled shoe.  These make my feet very happy.  I might have to have a second pair!  Hmm...
