text: These boots really live up to their hype.  They fit extremely well.  Initially of course I expected that wearing my typical size 11 to 11.5 shoes would apply to the boots.  NOPE!  I was dead wrong.  I bought 11 and had to return them.  I then purchased 10.5 and it fit just right.  Initially, of course, it was tight, but with any good leather, it forms to your feet through wearing them.  To aid in the fitment, I walked around them in my house for a few hours in thin socks, then gradually wore thicker socks.  After a day of wearing them, I switched back to the regular socks that I'll wear on a daily basis, and they fit just right.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!  Also, the stock picture is a little darker than what they really are, but the color is still quite nice.
