I ordered these boots in my standard 10.5D, ignoring the reviews which advised ordering a size small. The return was easy, and my new pair of 9.5D were at the front door within 3 days. My feet are flat and a little wide. The boots fit perfectly with a pair of Thorlo western dress socks. Minimal heel slip, broken in feel and pretty bada$$ looking. The leather is soft and supple, very comfortable. No toe soreness even after a 12-13 hour day in these, walking 3-5 miles in a day on hard surfaces. I highly recommend, and look forward to purchasing my next pair...one size smaller than usual, of course!
