This product is very inconsistent. Some reviewers say its true to size, while others say the shoe is too tight. I ordered a size eight to cushion with warm socks and even with the most fluffy socks I own, my feet were flopping around. They were way too big. Although the boot is leather, their fashion rugged process is also inconsistent. The boots are manufactured to look worn. They looked like two different boots. As other reviewers have noted, the boots have a slick surface because there are no traction ridges on soles. The leather is cheap, cheap, cheap. There is no arch support and feel like walking on rocks. I am busy and don't have time to return item and will probably give them to one of my teenage mentees, if they want them. I took the time to write the review because i am just that disappointed. You get what you pay for!!!!!
