Bigger than they appeared on the website and heavier too. I got these for my boyfriend who needed them for work. He was skeptical at first (he's never owned mining boots before) but nevertheless impresed. Took some time to break them in, which I guess is true of all shoes. Shipped on time, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because there was no receipt with the shipment, which he needed for his work, so I had to print one out. Also the fit wasn't totally perfect but all in all a good heavy duty boot and I would recommend them.  Metatarsal boots are hard to find but I'm glad we found these.
