Overall I'm pretty pleased with this purchase. The boot is comfortable in the foot bed and wide enough for my sometimes-too-wide-but-not-"wide" feet. The toe area is roomy even though it is a fairly narrow toe. They seem true to size. I'm almost 5'7" and the shaft comes to just under my knee - taller than most "knee" high boots. The three hole adjustment at the top only fits me on the middle hole, but allows me to wear the boot either under or over jeans. These boots have the thinner type lug sole and don't look as clunky as a thicker lug.

My only complaint is that the nubuck on the shaft is thinner than the leather of the rest of the boot. What this means is that when worn without jeans tucked in it sags just a little. If not for the strip of leather up the back seam it would sag a lot more. Please note that nubuck is not water proof and a small area below the lower strap, on the foot, is also nubuck. You wouldn't want to stand in any ankle-high puddles in these. I also would have expected a slight price decrease because of the nubuck (and you'll see one if you want any color besides black).

Despite the fact that I knew these were partially nubuck (though I didn't know that part was thinner than the rest) I bought and and am keeping the boots. There are products out there that say they waterproof nubuck. The quality of the workmanship is good and pretty sturdy. I've gotten several compliments on my new boots.
