I received these boots in the expected amount of time, after having exchanged them once.  Originally ordered a size longer than my 10AA shoes based on other reviews, but the 11s were way too long.  The 10s fit me well with either average socks or thicker ones; the footbed is comfortable, but I will probably add an orthotic with a little more arch support.  I am 5'9" tall and my calves measure 13-3/4" around, and these fit easily with straight-leg jeans tucked in.  The plaid is subtle and will go with about anything, and the boots are a little more graceful looking than some others brands I tried on that have a more rounded toe.  But -- I had to take off one star for the strong, acrid odor!  I put the boots in an open closet in an unused room to "air," but they are still smelly after more than a week.  Hope it goes away or substantially diminishes before I need to wear them!

UPDATE:
That was October 2012 -- it's now June 2013, and the boots STILL have the strong plastic smell.  I still love them, however, just moved them to a distant closet in my house where they can stink away until I need them again...
