I got these boots yesterday in the regular black. They are just awesome.
I wore them for about 5 hours yesterday with 2 pairs of socks, and for a 9 hour work shift today, again with 2 pairs of socks. I'm wearing them regularly now, and they seem to be fully broken in. They look better than I imagined and are so comfortable. They are a bit roomier than expected, about half a size big, as other reviews mentioned, but it's not a bad thing for me, as it means I can wear thicker socks in winter.
I have wide calves, and while at first the tongue just barely covered my leg, and I couldn't have double knotted the lace to save my life, the leather has stretched a lot. I now have plenty of lace left when I tie them, and they look more normal on my leg. So if they are on the snug side they should still be okay, as they will stretch.
I usually wear sneakers, so these were a change, and I felt like a dinosaur when I first put them on, as they are really solid and have weight to them. It felt like I could make one wrong move and crush something. Once I wore them to work today I got more used to it though, and now they just feel solid and sturdy, and like they were custom made for me. Best purchase ever, worth every penny. And I thought sneakers were the only comfortable footwear!
