I ordered these from another site and was excited to get my first pair of riding boots. The quality and comfort are wonderful but unfortunately the fit did not work out for me. I wear a size 8.5 and although the footbed was the right size, the ankle area was loose and bulky and the boot was not as form fitting in the calf as I would've liked. I was able to slip all of my fingers between my leg and the boot. I may just start with paddock boots and chaps instead.
