First of all I love these boots. No other boot on the market is both leather, suede, lug soled with buckles.  These are stylish, casual boots that look great from Timberland, boot makers.  Thanks to the reviews, I knew exactly what I was getting. From sizing to fit. I was able to make a good choice and get it right the first time. I have an odd foot/leg.  My size 9 foot has a very high instep so I usually wear a 9 wide to accommodate this.  When a wide is not available, I will bump up to 9.5B or a 10B.  I ordered a 9.5C or wide based on the reviews I read about the boot being snug at the calf.

But size is not the only important measure.  The boot fits a little big (my decision to size up to 9.5 to accommodate my high instep). The sole is slick so my foot slides forward and the heel raises when I walk.  Normally, I would wear thicker socks and problem solved. Not with these boots.  I have to wear thin trouser socks.  Once you get the leather foot part of the boot fit you then have the slouchy suede.  This boot appears tall and stiff. It is not. The boot slouches around my 9.5in ankles . I do not like this. It makes the boots SUPER casual looking.  Moving up the leg the boot switches back to leather.  The leather is heavily seemed as it transitions from suede to leather at the top and this seem is very unforgiving making the boot tight at this spot. The top leather includes elastic and an adjustable buckle. Wide calves, no problem.  BUT the seem of the cuff is fixed and not stretchable.  This hits at the largest part of my calf, which is 16.5in and is very, very tight.

PROS:
Great boots from reputable boot maker
Quality leather and suede, well made
Great casual look; get lots of 'cool boots' complements
Wide fit option
Sizing of the foot and ankle true to size and comfortable

CONS:
Sizing of calf - calf width AND your height are important due to the suede to leather seem and where that will hit on your leg. I think if I were an inch taller or more, this would not be an issue
Slouching of the suede on the shaft of the boot - the tight seem allows the boots to stay up on me but may not do the same on your foot
Not for extreme winter weather, OK to get around with rain or snow on the ground. Not very warm.
Cannot wear pants with boots due to tight seem; I wear jeggings or thin leggings in a capri length

Bottom line: I should have returned these boots because they just don't work well with my foot/ankle/calf/leg.  But I couldn't find anything remotely similar and of the same quality. I really liked the super casual look, especially with the lug sole.  I can wear them in the rainy Louisiana winters. So I am sitting here typing this review with the boots on....stretching out that leather seem.
