I couldn't be more pleased with these (my first) Caswell boots. The bison leather is supple and brings a bold look to jeans or chinos. Design and construction is very good in any price range, but excellent for this price. I really appreciate the partial cork midsole and Vibram outsole. It's a combination that makes for a firm connection to earth, without being heavy or wooden feeling. Fit for me was true to size. I wear a 10.5EE, and these are perfect. I own quite a few boots, from several different makers, most of them more expensive. These Caswells are a fine addition.
