I wasn't sure what to expect when I got the boot.  My feet are fairly wide and generally don't fit 90% of the shoes & boots I try on.  I ordered the D width because they were on sale and the EE's weren't - figured I would probably have to send them back.  I was surprised they fit as well as they do.  They are a little snug in the width, but not so much they are uncomfortable - being leather they'll stretch out soon enough.  The pulltabs seem to be just as thick of leather as the boot, so I don't think they'll break on my boots anytime soon.  It takes some effort to put them on - the leather is rough on the inside and tends to grab my socks, also the ankle part is snug.  But I think if it was any looser, my foot would tend to slip around when walking and the leather will smooth out with use.

Overall they are very sturdy boots and I think they'll last me a good while.  The soles are fairly heavy and solid (no mistaking them for tennis shoes) but even without much cushioning they are quite comfortable to wear all day.
