I wear a size 10.5 wide in Belleville military boots, so I got these in a 10.5EE, and they fit great. I've also got some scrawny ankles, which these laced down on just fine. Wore them out in town for a week as a "look good boot" to get them broken in, and they broke in well. Just getting out of the Marines, I was looking for a good work boot, as I work as a framer/carpenter. Two months of all day wear on the job, and they still feel good, and my feet feel better! Feels like I'm not even wearing them most of the time, until I drop a 16 foot 4x6 on them, and even then they hold their form and protect my foot. If you wear cowboy boots a lot, the sole is super easy to get use too. When I wipe the sawdust off of them, they still look good, and scuffs on the leather are very few, which surprised me as clumsy as I am with my feet. I'll probably take some leather polish to them soon. The best part is that I know they were made here in the USA, by someone who loves their job and what they do. Over all, this was a great investment, and I know they will last me for a long while. And when I do need a new pair of boots, I'll be right back here to get another pair of Justins.
