I like these boots.
They're quality leather, have a very good sole & are put together well. They are pretty comfortable right out of the box and broke in quickly. They arrived bare and untreated, so I applied waterproofing (mink oil) and this darkened up the leather. They are slightly oversized, even with the lining, and fit loosely, but I guess that leaves plenty of room for thick wool socks when it's cooler, I hope they don't stretch out more.
What I don't like is that the buckle side of the instep strap that attaches the buckle to the boot is elastic. I live in the southwest, and our climate and summers here are very hard on materials like elastic & synthetics. I'll probably be taking them into a boot repair shop to have it replaced with leather before next year.
Also, the boot top has a weird inward curve in front that rubs against my shins and is annoying.The upper calf strap has no purpose other than looks, which is useless unless you tuck your pants into your boots.

Fit was good, true to size. Very comfortable with no break in!

I had black engineer boots, but no brown ones. These are great.

Boots are really nice and look good in the box,seem to be true to fit size but the top is real narrow and you can't zip them up.

Nice pair of boots. I have alot of boots. 36 to be exact.
