Really love the build quality of these boots, but the've been a pain to break in. Boots run small too start out with. I ordered the size 11 because Amazon didn't have a size 10.5 available....and it's a good thing I did! The boots run very tight and will most likely require stretching once received by the buyer. The leather is very stiff and won't "give" enough to mold to one's foot by simply wearing them to break them in. I put on a pair of thick socks, soaked the areas of the footed sock with alcohol that corresponded to the areas of the boots that required stretching, and then put the boots on over those alcohol soaked socks. After wearing the boots around the house for about an hour, the alcohol which had soaked into and softened the leather, began to evaporate. I removed the stretched out boots from my feet and allowed them to dry out for another hour before trying them on for size (with dry socks, of course) and found that the boots now fit comfortably on my feet. I like the boots very much, but it was sure a hassle getting them to fit right.

They are very tight below the laces and very loose at the heel. My heel moved so freely up the back of the boot it was a blister waiting to happen, while at the same time it was pinching the blood flow behind by toes. I am returning them. Sad too, for they are a great looking boot.
