I've only worn these for a few days so right now I'm only speaking about initial thoughts, mainly sizing.<br /><br />In Red Wing boots I wear a size 9, double wide. I decide to go with the same size to start off and it was too long. So I returned it for a 8.5 2E. We're almost there, but now it's way too narrow, but the length was perfect. I tried one more time, this time going for the same length but something wider. Nailed it! 8.5 3E (triple wide!) and it fits perfect. Keep this in mind if you have wide feet.<br /><br />So far I love the boot. Very comfortable and flexible straight out of the box. Premium feel and soft leather. I work on the waterfront, hard concrete, steel grating (trains and ships). My shoes take a beating. I'm looking forward to getting some good use out of them. I'll come back in a few months with a longer term review.
