These fit fine from the get go. My foot is on the wider side of the medium range but I have a narrow heel and  thin calves. Actually, I had tried them on in a department store after I had submitted the Amazon order.( I would have saved the shipping charge but the base price was similar.)  I hoped the Amazon order would fit as well. It did. The sizing of the product appears to be  consistent. (unlike my experience with some garments). These boots are a good height for me (I am and 5 ft 6 in).  They are on the big side but I think that if I ordered down they would bother my toes. There is clearly room for a sock. The toes are not too pointy and so are comfortable for me.  The boot is not too flat. I like  having a low and yet substantial heel .
 The  black leather had some imperfections. I will just polish the boots and live with them.  These are inexpensive leather boots, and I am glad to have found them. If you want a perfect leather boot I think you should be willing  to pay a lot more.
 If these boots wear as well as they look and feel I will be overjoyed. It is too soon to tell.
