I really need EW (Extra Wide) for my Duck Feet but their sizing allowed me to guesstimate a size to fit Thermal socks. I already own a shorter version of a different size for Summer. I am impressed with both sets. They remind me of the my MASON SHOES that I loved. Wasn't sure I would like the 16 inchers but beside providing more warmth, I was impressed with the adjustments that allowed the "pre-shaped" calf area to tighten up at the top. I have big (muscle) calves and with the ZIPPER VERSION, I could tighten the top for a really good fit & shape but not have to try to push my foot through the restriction! In fact, This was my first "zipper" and I will probably look for zipper styles from now on!!!

Update SEP 2020: Still in good shape. Definitely worth the money.

Update AUG 1, 2019: After having these almost 8 months, I am still very happy with them. I would buy them again. I was wearing them most days except when sneakers or steel toes were needed, until the weather got above 95 degrees. I have appreciated the light weight, and the comfort has remained great so far. No trouble with the zippers or other parts so far. Because the leather is light weight and they are tall, they tend to sag when just standing on the shelf not being worn. I stuff an old T-shirt inside to help them keep their shape. After getting them dirty and wet a few times, I can suggest using a good quality cleaner/protectant on them, same as used on the $600 Wescos I own. I use "Leather Only" brand of product. First clean and dry them, then use the product to maintain the leather in good condition.

The correct way to measure a boot height for fitting is from the footbed to the top of the boot. The shaft height. The 16" claimed is from the floor to the top, so includes the sole and the heel thickness.

That said, I also got a size larger than usual and use thick socks and these are as comfortable as sneakers. Light weight and cool, maybe 5 oz. leather. Much cooler in summer than the heavy duty and expensive Wesco boots worn in the winter. I'm always bashing into things 12-15" above the floor, so they are doing the job they were bought for and this is where a typical shortie 10" work boot is not worth pouring water out of.

The skinny or slim crowd should try the Adtech brand, similar to these but much slimmer. A Chippewa boot may also be better there. The thing to do assuming you can get ahold of anyone on the phone is to ask.

These are a great value for the money. I'd buy again.

Boots were as described and arrived quickly! I mainly got these for cosplaying purposes, but I wouldn't mind wearing these on a regular basis

These boots are some of the best I have ever owned. I ride a motorcycle everyday and I put them through hell but they have taken every bit of abuse I have given and still look new!

So the length was correct when I received my order. I ordered the 9.5W. They were not wide enough or tall enough for the top part of my foot. This is a typical problem for me buying boots and many boots either fit or don't fit. Being that these were leather. I was able to have them stretched for width and also for the top of the foot being too high. I had these stretched several time until I could actually get my foot into them without too much pain. I wore thin socks and got them wet and wore them around on a few short duration occasions. Then I was able to start wearing them on a regular basis. I now able to use them all day long with comfort. I still use thin to medium socks. I am able not able to wear pants inside the boot, unless they are thin. Regular jeans are too thick to fit in the space that is left after my beefcake calves fill them up. I can do thin material pants inside the boot. Mostly where my pants outside the boot. I really like the zipper. With my bad back I would not be able to get into these without the zipper. I really like these. Would have got a 5 star if they had a beefcake size!
