Love, love, LOVE these boots.  As other reviewers have said, they are comfortable out of the box.  I have another pair of Timberland boots and realized before purchasing these that they run narrow.  It was nice to see these in a wide option (although not available in my size), so I ordered a half size up.  While they're a little big, the width is perfect.  As for those who have complained that the tongue isn't made of stiff leather, who cares?  It takes no more than a couple of seconds to hold it up and adjust when putting on the boot.  These are definitely my new "go to" boots.  If they come back around on sale and in my size I will definitely be purchasing more colors.
