These boots meet my expectations of what a quality boot should be. They rank up there with GS, Alden, etc. The White Tail leather is thick enough to hold shape, yet easy to break in. I like that this leather does not have nearly as much pull-up effect as other brands with similar leather. I generally wear a 10D/E in heritage boots (Brannock 10.5D) and these fit fine in the size 10. They are great for business casual wear.
