These boots are great riding or fashion boots.  Very comfortable right out of the box.  I wore them for seven day's straight, walking and riding.  Awesome.  I usually wear a 7 1/2 however in Harley Davidson riding boots I take a 7.  These boots are narrower than the boots I have had in the past so it's taking a bit to streatch out the width.  But like I said before the boots are comfortable and soft leather so they are breaking in nicely.
