This is my 2nd pair of Bed Stu boots. When you first put them on, they feel kind of tight. But after wearing them for only a short time, the soft leather gives in and then they become your most comfortable boots ever! Therefore I would say they are true to size. If you don't like the snug fit in the beginning, I recommend ordering 1/2 size up.
These boots look like classic Motorcycle boots. I wear them when I drive my Roadster to Classic car shows, along with a old distressed Motorcycle jacket. Love that look!
