I am not one to usually rave, quite frankly, about shoes.  I will make an exception here and tell you that if you are in the market for a pair of Chukka boots, don't look any further.  The look, the feel....everything about these met and exceeded my expectations.  I admit I did not initially believe the many other reviewers saying to order a 1/2 to a full size down so I bought my normal shoe size...but they were right and I returned them for a 1/2 size down.  Perfect fit, but I know everyone's foot is different.  Be aware, though, they do run large.

Will definitely buy another pair in another color.  Versatile shoe.  Be sure to weatherproof it first and you're good to go.
