These boots are well made, except when it comes to the lining inside the shoe. One can feel the rough material in the front and where the composite toe protection part starts, it hurts your big and small toes as it rubs hard. I tried my regular size 9", then returned and ordered 9.5" extra wide, and it didn't matter. Even when wide they feel somewhat tight, so using extra tick socks to try and cushion the toes is not good enough... I did order another pair of Wolverines though, and those are working out very well (
