“I bought these having read (mostly ) positive reviews. I ordered a 1/2 size smaller as advised. Boot is well made and the leather is pleasingly soft. I could even have ordered another 1/2 size smaller as it's still quite roomy and I suspect that as the boot wears in there will be even more give. A small concern is that the heel of the boot is wearing down much faster than with other shoes that I have. Overall very pleased with these though”
