I just received my new pair of these boots so I am writing this review without much wear.  Nevertheless, I wanted to say that my first impression is very positive.  I read the existing reviews before purchasing.  Of particular benefit was the advice on sizing.  I normally wear an 8.5 D in street shoes and most athletic shoes.  Lately, in cowboy boots I have bought size 9 D for a good fit.  So, when I saw folks recommending buying a full size smaller than normal in these boots I really paused.  It was hard to take the advice really.  But I did and bought a size 8 D.  With Thorlo boot sox on with fairly think footbed, I have plenty of room.  So I would recommend buying at least 1/2 size to full size smaller on this boot.  The construction and leather are great.  The boots appearance is just like pictured only better on your foot.  Great look in jeans. Comfortable right out of the box.  At this point 5 star rating.  If I have any issues to adjust, I will come back here.
