The shoes runs very large.  I typically wear size 6, and also in timberland a size size.  My feet was swimming it it.  Looked like a clown's feet.  I think it was one full size bigger.  The leather was nice, soft and subtle.  I also like the style of the boots too.  I would have kept it if it fit.  I decided not to exchange it because of the hassle and I don't know if I will get a fitting one.  Some reviews say it fits ok, but most say it runs big.  Not sure what to expect.
