I ordered these boots in brown and black to see which I liked better. (I actually received them in STONE and black.) As for the boots themselves, they look great and are just what I wanted. The brown (stone) pair fit fine, but the black ones were a bit too narrow so I had to return them. I was a little worried after reading the other reviews saying the leather was too stiff, but I haven't had a problem with that. They fit and felt great from the start. I teach elementary school and am on my feet all day, but these boots never rubbed or blistered my feet. One thing I will say -- the footbed, while perfectly fine, doesn't feel like a pair of Clark's shoes. Don't buy these boots if you need superior support, because it's not in there. That is the reason I didn't give them 5 stars. I have a history of foot issues, so I wear these boots for a day or so and then I wear more supportive shoes for a couple of days. All in all, though, I'm glad I bought them. They look great and wear well.
