I bought the black.  If I didn't already have a pair of brown chukkas, I would have bought those - I bet they look incredible.  I wear a 10.5 and got these in size 10, they fit me well. The boots look great (smell great too... mmmm leather).  They are perfect for jeans when you want a casual bordering on dressy look, but not too dressy.  They are uncomfortable for the first 6 to 10 times you wear them, but get more comfortable as they break in.  My big complaint is they arrived sprayed with some white stuff on the leather and soles, it looks like paint overspray.  I wasn't looking for a paint-overspray look, but luckily it wipes off easily with the leather wipes I use to clean my couch.  NOTE TO FRYE: Please include cleaning/care instructions, these are $238 boots and I don't want to screw them up.
