Runs narrow, but a great boot once broken in
As many have written, the boot runs narrow, especially around the neck of the boot. I normally wear a 10.5. My feet are a little wide but not quite wide enough to order an wide shoe size on most shoes. I ordered a 10.5 on this boot but couldn’t even get my foot passed the neck. It also felt like it would be a little short, so then ordered an 11.5 regular width. I could barely squeeze my foot in passed the neck of the boot, but once my foot was in, it was just a little too long. I then ordered a 11 Wide. It was still a struggle to get into the boot at first, but once I got my foot in, it fit just right with just enough room to wear heavy socks when it gets cold. It also breaks in well. Once I broken in, I have no problems getting my foot in. If you don’t mind dark darkening the boot a little, I recommend applying mink oil first and wearing the boot at home for a few days. Now that I have it broken in, it seems like a great boot. It seems well made and is comfortable, especially given the price. However, I have not worn it for extended periods of time on my feet yet.

Which are not that comfortable at all?
The quality boots good the insole in it sucks so I recommend getting a new one. They’re not very comfortable.

They Hold Up!
I am a farmer/rancher and I'm constantly out working all the time. I walk miles every day checking hay and working on irrigation equipment. I've never had a pair of boots last more than one season because they just can't hold up to the miles and also constantly being wet and muddy. Some name brand boots have failed in as little as two months.These boots have passed the test however! They are the only boots I've ever had to have survived two seasons. They lasted so long that the leather wore out! I've never had any other brand of boots hold together long enough for the leather to wear out. Usually the sole falls apart long before the leather gets much wear. I could have kept wearing my old pair, but water kept leaking in through the hole that'd worn into the toe. So I bought another pair and they're also holding up.My only gripe about these boots is that the sizing has been inconsistent. My first pair fit perfectly. My second pair is slightly tighter and applies pressure to the top of my feet, causing soreness. Hopefully they'll stretch.

Had to change my review from 5 to 1
I am leaving my original review below.This morning I put on these boots and the heal support (whatever is against the back of my heal on the inside of the boot) broke down - when I pulled it out it looked like it was made of cardboard. Now the boot is unbearably uncomfortable.I really expected these to last a very long time and am now incredibly disappointed.So, I have seen this in other reviews and will re-enforce what others have said:I normally wear a 10. I ordered a 10.5 W.I also always wear Murino wool boot socks (winter and summer - try it and you will know why)When they arrived, I could barely get my foot it... I mean it really took a minute and quite a struggle to even get my foot into the boot. They squeezed on the sides, they squeezed on the top of my foot, I could barely wear them let along walk or work. I wore them for about 10 minutes before I had to take them off. I almost put them back in the box to send back.The next day, I wore them for a couple of hours before I had to take them off.The next few nights I would put them on after work and wear them until it was time to go to bed (flexing them while I was wearing them).About 3 days later, I put them on and my foot slipped right in. the boots had stretched enough so they were snug but comfortable.About 3 days after that, they had become my favorite boots. I can wear them all day, work, hiking, driving, they are just really comfortable.The tread is wide so I will pick up the occasional pebble but other than that, I have no complaints. Highly recommended.

Just not that good.
When I first put these on it took me about fifteen minutes to squeeze in. After a good days work they had stretched out to where I could take them on and off, but they're still a little tight. I go through about a pair of boots a year, and I like to try new things occasionally to see what's out there.For the most part they work. I really wish I had bought boots with laces. I spend a lot of time walking long rocky and muddy trails, so the loss of support at the ankle is a real weakness. I also had some trouble digging because the back got caught on my shovel over and over again. After I got used to them it wasn't as much of a problem, but I fell down a few times first.Overall they're a good boot. Easy to slip on for some quick work and easy to dry and clean off, but they just don't beat my old lace up steel toe work boots. If you like this style maybe they're for you, but if you're looking to switch to these I wouldn't recommend them.
