I bought this boot in oct. 2012 right out of the box they were comfortable to wear after broken in they are like walking on a cloud... i'm on my feet for 7 or 8 hours a day and they fit my neds just fine....by the way i would advise interested partys to in vest in some good shoe shine they tend to get scuffed up easilybut other than that (which is normal) i have no complants....would buy again
