I wanted a nice looking, well made boot and these boots are it.  The color is true to the picture.  Although I did rub them down with mink oil to protect them from the weather which made them slightly darker and even more appealing!  I ordered a 9.5 which is my normal size and they fit perfectly with normal socks.  Don't even need to use the zipper to get them on.  My foot slides right in with just the right amount of room around the calf,
The sole was a little slippery until it got a little wear time.  I still haven't worn them for a full day but so far so good on the comfort.  I may get a thin insert for a little cushion on the footbed.  They have a western flair look to them but not the pointy-toed cowboy boot look.  Money well spent!  Don't be afraid to order
