"I was hesitant to buy something like this online without being able to try them on, as I have size 12 feet that are slightly wide. Plus, I have some foot issues going on that require shoes be "just right" for comfort. I really must say I was pleasantly surprised by these! Not only did they fit me right out of the box, no breaking in required, they are super comfortable. I walk all over the place in them, and have not yet had any pain on the ball of my foot or heel. They do not squeeze the widest part of my foot, and they are plenty roomy in the toe area. You really can't beat the price for leather boots! These are already my go to shoes to wear with jeans or work pants for the fall. I am figuring I will be wearing them through the winter as well!"
