unfortunately did not match my need. Had to return but an excellent boot for the $s

This story ends nicely. I ordered the Long Riding Boots, and when they arrived, one boot, though marked the right size, was noticeably smaller than the other boot. I took photographs and contacted customer service. They were fast in contacting me with the offer to ship another pair, on them. The second pair came with no issues. I am very pleased!

My Amish boot guy will correct them. They pinched in back because of lack of support. I'm not that disappointed, just a little because I will have to spend money to correct this deficiency. Otherwise they look great!

Loved the look. Lots of great feedback. Had a couple friends asked to borrow them. I was best man at a frontier, wild west wedding.

Great.. authentic look of the old west

I have wide feet that require a square toed boot. My job requires black leather boots. I had just about given up on finding decent looking, comfortable boots at an affordable price. These boots fit well, seem to be durable, and shine up really well. I have received lots of compliments on them.

Great for historical reenactments and good enough for every day use. I use size 10.5-11. I ordered size 10 and they fit loose which is perfect because I use thick insoles.

very comfortable easy to wear great fit can be wore with most of my outfits i highly recommend these boots

These boots are made basically the same way as was done in the 1860s and issued by the govt., though men could purchase their own boots of a higher quality. Square-toed, they are wide enough for me and I wear a 9-Wide and might have been okay with a size 8-Wide in these boots. Well constructed and sturdy though unlined and your pant legs will probably have to be stuffed into them, but that's how these were worn back in their time. Excellent for reenactment. I shall be Lt. Col. Sawdust!

I wear a size 12 EEE, finally , a boot that comfortably fits, had others that did'nt even come close to these.

I have a fair number of western boots. Some were for SASS, others for snake country. I will summarize these boots so you can decide for yourself. Overall, for the money, they are a good deal. The boots are not lined so they will sag unless you stuff your pants into them. Soles and heels are leather and will not stand up well to water. I bought rubber sole and heel caps and glued them on with Shoe Goo, also sealing the leather edges, boot heel, etc. My foot size is 10D. I often buy a size larger (since I don't run marathons in boots) in order to be able to remove them; but since I read so much of these boots being oversize, I bought 10 normal width. The length is good but the width is way large. I added insoles. There is no spur shelf so getting these off (with a tight fit) will be murder. The tops of my boots measured 18" in circumference. Since these boots measure 18" from heel to top, without a large circumference it would be very difficult to get your foot into a narrow shaft, tall boot, without a zipper. Ever wonder why people buy tall boots with zippers...this is why. These are the tallest boots I have ever found and I have 6 pairs of high-priced kicks. I bought these for work I do not want to subject $350+ boots to.

I was a little leery when purchasing these boots as the price seemed too good to be true compared to what other boots in the same style run. Reviews overwhelmingly complained that the top opening was too big, which was a godsend for me, I have a hard time finding tall boots because I have massive Calf muscles and almost every boot is nowhere near loose enough in the stovepipe to get up my leg. These ones were perfect. Great value and made very well for the price. Toe is very very square, but i like it, reminds me of civil war era dragoon styled riding boots. Would buy again.
