Kalso Earth shoe Intone is a well made shoe however the stitcheing across the toes does rub. I put Leather Therapy conditioner from my saddle shop and it softened it up. I put the boot toe stretcher with a moist cotton ball adding a dab of isopropyl alcohol (to stretch it) and it freed up the stitching across the toes. I found the size and width to be true, and I wear a 9 medium. It is a comfortable shoe once you tweak it (release the toe stitching).
