text: I bought these boots at size 10.5 vice my normal 10 and they fit perfect.  I had purchased Bates Boots before in size 10 and had to return them for being too tight.  While they come with adequate insoles, I replaced them with a pair of &#34;SOLE&#34; inserts which provide superior arch support.  My objective was to have a pair of waterproof boots for trips on my Harley.  They worked great as riding boots, but have not had the chance to check out how they handle the rain.  I rode for over 1850 miles over 5 days and they were very comfortable.
