I had given up finding another pair of riding boots. I live in the boom docks and rely on measurements and product reviews. After many boots ordered and returned from many different places; I was happy to stumble across these. I'm still looking for a pair in chocolate brown. The are true to size, maybe a bit narrow but I have narrow feet so I am loving them. The heel is slippery and will need some scuffing up. They are soft and pliable so I have not doubt that they will conform to my feet perfectly in no time. One draw back is the lack of a zipper; not allowing adjustment  over the pant leg. This problem is easily solved by using boot snuggies or suspenders also sold on Amazon. Basically mitten clasps and an elastic band that cinches the pant leg in place. I wouldn't be without them. Just fold the hem to the correct length and attach to keep the pant leg from bunching up at the knee. I have a narrow foot and a slim calf, about 13" and I love these boots. All other boots I have ordered have been big around the calf or slouching around the ankles. These are not and the price is great for a leather boot. If they fail to impress me I will let you know.
