First thing I have to mention is the reviewer who said to order a half size down and go with a EE width is spot on. I wear a 10 just like him and after reading his review I was debating on ordering the 10D or the 9.5EE like he suggested. Well I went with the 9.5EE and boy am I happy I did. They fit perfectly. Thanks for the excellent review!



The boots fit well right out of the box. The heal is a bit aggressive right now, but your foot needs to get used to a new boot and the leather needs to soften. It is also getting used to the leather heal. I currently wear Irish Setters which are waterproof so the interior has a lining. This boot is just a leather upper which is what I wanted. No lining and a leather pad for the heal. As of now the boot is comfortable, but my heal gets hot spots very quickly with any sort of walking. This is to be expected and nothing surprising. It will work itself out like it always does. I will do a update in a few months. As of now I am extremely happy.



EDIT: Well that was a quick update. I already had to send mine back as there is a popping feeling and noise coming from both boots. It feels like the sole was glued on improperly. I thought it may have been the insole, but I removed both of them and the popping continues leading me to believe it is the outsole which is a huge problem. If it is improper gluing the soles could easily separate. I'm not to happy to say the least.
