Try Before Buy/Amazon Wardrobe is the way to go with these.
How things have changed since Covid 19... He says while on the elliptical with a computer mounted in front of it and a table top attachment for wireless keyboard, mouse, and more for working while working out.If you know the story of Goldilocks, I can save you a paragraph of reading beyond ordering a bunch of sizes and keeping the one that fits best.Shopping for specialty and other than off the rack sizing options have definitely limited choices and higher prices.At a time of higher prices, fewer choices, it seems the that these would be the perfect candidate for try before buy.These were the most reasonably priced boots for the limited choices available. When fake leather costs nearly as much as real leather, it is hard to consider the fake ones at prices approaching the real options.Thanks to everyone who wrote reviews that helped ease the selection process. The sizing dilemma was most prevalent among reviews about being too big or too small and figured this was probably best ordered with try before buy and pick a few pairs around the expected size. Since most suggested that they are either too big to start or stretch out shortly after a few days of use.This type of boot has multiple fitting issues to consider while it is a shorter boot, it getting a pair that fits the foot while being appropriately sized for your ankle and lower calves can be tricky. The easiest way to figure out which one is right is try as many as you can within a size range. Finding anything in my range is always a challenge in brick and mortar stores. The most common size ranges are not always in stock and hopping from one store to another store isn't convenient. I've tried Amazon Wardrobe before its name change which surely attracts more people and spells out more clearly in its name one of its top features.I have always ordered larger sizes when it comes to footwear and used various types of inserts from memory foam to insoles from previous shoes that had to be removed to fit right. These were no exception. Judging by the consensus of at least a size to bigger than your regular size. AE measured my foot as 10.5m or regular width but that is for dress shoes wearing nano thin nylon socks. I also prefer to add double pillow Dr. S insert after cork sets to my imprint and before perspiration discolors the bed of the shoe.There wasn't a complete selection of every size available with try11w along with a 9w, in the event that product changes were made after those reviews. The 10W was the best fit and still allowed room for the memory foam insole minus the original insole which isn't horrible but also isn't great. If the boots stretch out, I can always add thin slice of insole padding of any type.I could have could have gotten away with wearing any of them plus or minus insoles but the 10w was the best fit for the opening during walking because the 9w opening that fits with seemingly just the right gap for a pair of warm socks would create too much stress on the vamp and surely generate more friction than is optimal for the fit.It would have been nice if they could have used just a little bit of that stretch material either as part of the zipper connections or a strip on the instep side of the boot which would alleviate that extra stress on the leather. However, the 11w could have worked with an extra cushion insole or thicker memory foam substitute for the original insole but the top of the boot was swimmingly large. Yes, it could have been kept hidden by the bottom of the pant legs but the 10w was the best of the options.It is far too easy to damage soft leather and by far the easiest leather to damage is the kind worn on your feet. Uneven stairs, sidewalks restaurant chairs, tables where you can't see the legs, and just about anywhere you can accidental lean the edges of your feet against will cause scuffs to significant scrapes. Dark colors can be more easily repaired but it is still disappointing.I was spoiled by a market with tons of competition and lots of options at bargain prices. Fast forward to now...I was never a fan of these chukka style boots when I was a kid but after my 45 and what my wife would call my first midlife crisis, I saw a cool looking pair of Kenneth Cole unlined boots in black that were being sold for 10.00 dollars, I thought I should have at least one pair. Fake, yes. Comfortable, yes. Look real, yes. Would I care if the were in the trash in a few weeks, not really. They had dual zippers and stretched to fit my large calves. 6 years later, after they endured the last rain and puddle that broke the illusion of real leather and were not repairable as they started a never ending peal, it was time for a replacement.

Love them
I normally wear 11.5 or even 12 if I can't get a wide enough size to fit my wide foot when buying retail. But judging by the shoe sizing chart, I took a chance and ordered 11 wide as recommended and they fit perfectly. Not too tight anywhere or too loose so my foot doesn't move around inside to create blisters. Inside the shoe it shows a reference size of 11EEE.I ordered the brown pair first, I was so impressed with the fit and quality that I ordered the black and then the cognac. The cognac are the best looking for me, real dressy. The brown pair are my every day shoes and the zipper works flawlessly.The cognac zipper is still a bit stiff. The leather next to the zipper can be an rubbing issue so be mindful of that and pull it back until the zipper begins to work more freely when worn more often.At my age, 83, I don't do long walks like I used to a few years ago. I wear the brown ones in and around the house and local shopping because they make my feet feel good wearing them. So other than the long walk in the parking lot to shop in a big box store and more walking inside the store, I have had no problem wearing them. The black and cognac are for special occasions.For people that wear nothing but boots, I think they will be at home wearing these boots as long as you can get the right size and fit properly like mine do.

Instantly comfortable and a nice bit of toe space up front.
These are replacing my very worn out daily wear chelseas, and they feel great right out of the box. I'm an EU 42, so I ordered the US 8.5 (took a chance, a 42 often equates to a UK 8 or US 9 in my eperience) but these are spot on. Enough room in the toe area so there's no crushing. They seem beautifully finished with good soles and the cushioned insoles are very pleasant indeed. I do quite a bit of walking, so here's hoping they hold up over the miles, but they certainly seem suited to the task at hand.

Stylish, a little heavy, loose. Size 9.5
Pros: Convenient zipper, well made, soft inner lining. Cons: loose around the arch, foot tends to slide inside shoe which together with the weight tends to be uncomfortable at distance or trying to walk fast. A disadvantage of zipper boots in general is there's no way to tighten them like laces. The boot either fits perfectly or it doesn't. I have three boots with laces (Armani, Rockport, Vostey), and two with side zippers (Armani and Florsheim). All are real or faux leather. The next boot I buy will be more closely evaluated for weight and a good fit. The laced collared Vostey is becoming my overall favorite for fit, comfort, ruggedness and looks even if the same weight as this Florsheim. The other four boots are also considerably cheaper. Being an avid hiker and trail builder before and worn many different hiking boots with leather-fabric construction with laces and thick rubber soles with bounce and grips, it took some getting used to wearing street boots. I may end up settling for a mid cut Steet Climber style again.

Well fitted
I purchased these for my father who has struggled over the years to find a wide dress boot. He loves them! They are now his "winter church shoes". Very dressy in winter.
