"These boots are wonderful. They are comfortable and the leather actually resembles a good quality made leather. The "Tan" is exactly the brown I was looking for compared to the darker brown they have for sell. As regards to size I think they run normal for a boot. For instance, I wear a 9.5 in sneakers, and for dress shoes I vary between 8.5-9. I have always bought 8.5 for boots like Clarks, and these seem to fit me just the same in 8.5. Great boots overall!"
