The rambler is good looking boot but like most reviewers have said, Ariat sizes are screwy.  I wear a 13 athletic shoe, 12 in a normal boot and I found that 11.5 is what fit best in this boot.  They are comfortable as far a boots go.  They do have a hard rubber sole and are not made for long walks.  I like them and know better than to wear them when I'm going to be on my feet a lot.
