WOW, these boots are quite delightful. You won't see too many people in your lifetime wearing these boots, that's for sure!! They are gorgeous boots very different from anything else I have. The leather is quite substantial yet soft and pliable. I love them,  I am 65 years old and i'm going to rock these boots. I got a size 11 as size 10 which is my usual size was not available. The 11 fits well with socks, and the width on these boots is perfect.. Very good looking boots, well made and will last for years.Highly recommend .
