These are nice boots. I would not buy them as a work boot. These boots are a perfect fit for my 11Wide foot. They do need to soften up a bit, I wear them on the weekends for now until they get broken in. These boots seem to be made very well. They remind me of something someone would wear from the 1940's Indiana Jones gear. So glad I found them here on Amazon. I always shopped at those online shoe buy websites, until I found that Amazon has them cheaper. I paired these boots up with some new Rockport socks as well. Sad they are not water-proof for this price, but they are a nice looking, comfortable boot. OH one last thing, love the inner boot lining.
