I am always hesitant to purchase footwear online as I really like to try them on first but I liked the look of these boots so much - they were to replace boots I bought several years ago that I wore out and had not been able to find anything like them since and these were the closest I had seen in two years of looking - that I decided to risk it.

They are true to size, mine fit perfectly.  They are super comfortable - I can wear them all day and my feet feel great.  The one thing I did was take them straight into a shoe-mender when they arrived and had a grip sole and heel put on them as the soles are smooth.  The boots I wore out were smooth as well and I slipped and fell in them several times so I wanted to avoid that.  It cost me $30 to do and now I have a pair of boots I hope will last me many years because they are perfect.

I have no issue with the leather quality, as some seem to have.  The one thing I would have liked is if the toe to ankle part wasn't so firm.  The boots I had before were very soft and malleable in that area and I liked that a lot, but these are very hard - a solid form.  Yet still comfortable so it's okay, it just took a bit of getting used to.

I highly recommend.
