I have been buying Red Wing since long ago. The fit is perfect as always. I read some reviewers claim sizing is often an issue but I wear size 12m and never had an issue of perfect fit with this boot. BUT I will say this, after purchasing this boot I happened across reviews for a boot company Thorogood that produces very similiar models/styles as Red Wing but more importantly puts a Vibram soul on their boot. The Red Wing soft white soul just doesn't last very long at all ....never has. And you get socked for $65 to re-soul from Red Wing these days. I read the Thorogood boot is also MADE in USA. Nice for a change. Next time I am going to try the Thorogood out.
