I found these to be a great pair of boots
It's odd that I have received so many compliments on these boots. Who actually looks at your shoes?AppearanceWhen you first get them, they look very cool. Kind of all dry and dusty. The thing is, unless you are a famous actor that only intends to wear these once during your Tonight Show interview, you'll probably have to do some stuff. I've attached a photo to show what the boot initially looks like, and what it looks like after you apply mink oil, which of course, you HAVE to do (unless you are that actor). The mink oil is needed to soften up the leather and waterproof the boot. SO when you buy the boots, just buy the Mink oil too from somewhere. The photo shows what I bought but I don't think there is much difference what kind you get. Oil them up and let them sit overnight, then they are ready to wear.FitA lot of controversy here in these comments. I think overall, if you buy your size, the boots are kind of tight. Boots are sort of like that. Especially new ones. They need to stretch a little SO there is a little bit af time you will wear them where they will feel sort of tight. I'm not saying your boots should hurt, but they might a little. Just get over it you big baby. They settle in after a week or so and after a little more time, they feel like they are a part of you.CustomizeI don't think the boot makers put a whole lot of thought in their inserts. Just remember, these are NOT running shoes with high tech support. I think it's just whatever insert they could buy a million of cheaply. I always put my own inserts in anyway and I'd probably say you'll want to do that too. I swear by Superfeet insoles but get whichever ones fit your comfort preferences and budget. These are the things that will stop your heel from swimming around in the back of the boot too.Overall I love these boots. I took some photos of my boots after a month or so, but can't find them at the moment. Basically, they look pretty nice. Kind of in-between the two boots in the photo. If you apply mink oil after a couple of months, they return to the darker appearance and the cycle begins again. I have a hard time imagining what can really go wrong with these boots aside from the heel falling off or getting worn. And it looks like it's designed to be replaced. So if this is the style of boot you like, you will not be disappointed in these.

The fit is a little bigger than normal
Great boots so far. The fit is a little bigger than most but it is not a bad thing; it gives you a little room for some good inserts and some nice warm socks in the winter time. My advice, buy at your regular size. The boot has a traditional cowboy boot heal; if you have not worn cowboy boots in a while, give yourself some time to get used to that heel to toe walk. A little better than the Fryes boots since the Freys 12R harness boot I bought many years ago were very tight and took some time to break in. These boots are comfortable, right out of the box. Great boot with that classic Western look and feel.

Decent knock offs
I have to give them -1 stat because they are knock off “Durango” boots. But they hold up. The leather is a little thinner than normal but comfortable still. I got the wide size and it’s just a hire tight for a wide. They are soft and good value considering.

Amazing boots!
These are some of the most comfortable boots I've ever worn, period. For those who might not know, you want them to be tight when you first get them. leather stretches and molds to the shape of your foot. It'll take a few days of somewhat painful break in but once they start taking shape it's hard to think of a reason to take them off. Put about 15 - 20 hours of break in before you you decide against them. After they're broken in you should have a half inch or less of slide in the heel, but they should feel snug around the ball and arch of your feet. If they feel like they're slipping off with every step they are too big. Remember to condition them with Mink oil or something similar, after break in and then again every 4-5 months or when the leather looks dry. These are an awesome buy, but if you want to use orthotics, do note the insole is glued.

Nice boots but a bit narrow compared to other manufacturers.
This pair of Dingo men's boots seem to run a bit narrow for a 10.5 3E width. I returned them because they made my feet hurt while sitting at my desk -- just the pressure on the sides even without standing in them was too much. I specialed ordered a pair of Double H 10.5 3E and tried them on. Much better! Double H boots seem to be a little wider in equivalent sizes. I liked the Dingo boots -- and the price was very good. But I like the Double H boots even better as the leather is heavier, and the fit is better for my wide feet. However, the price for my Double H was substantially higher. But they should last for many years with resoling etc.
