Let me start by saying I've been looking for my perfect boots for months now, and I can say I've finally found them. What I was looking for was:

- rugged, sturdy sole
- good quality leather (waterproof)
- style with practicality

Lexiss boots fit the bill! But let me tell you, I had to order 5 pairs of these boots to find the right size and fit! I'm a pretty solid 10 but these boots in size 10 are more like 11.5! After trying on 10, 9.5, and 9 (all in Wide fit), I finally decided 9 fits me best. My calves are about 16 inches, and 9W was a bit hard to zip up at first but the leather does stretch, even after wearing the boots at home for a couple hours. Another thing I noticed is that the fit of the brown color is not the same (a bit tighter) as the leather is different (more like nubuck). P.S. Size 10 of these are EUR 42, and size 9 is EUR 40. I'm normally EUR 40.5-41 but these boots definitely do not have standard fit.

UPDATE: I ended up returning these boots. The zipper kept damaging my sock (every time I zipped, it created a hole in the sock), and I just decided overall these boots are just too heavy-duty. I need something a bit more feminine.
