The shoes are very good quality, and have very good seamwork. Mine did have a big scratch on the top of one boot and one rivet was missing from one of the metal pieces. However the issue, leather does stretch but if you're thicc good luck finding something that fits... don't bother getting a size bigger than you need too. I got a size and a half bigger than what I usually wear, still didn't work. My calves are around 20-21 inches around so if you're that size or bigger forget getting boots like these. Its to hard to get them on and even if leather stretches it isn't worth the pain of waiting for that to happen. Even so, there will be a gap between your tongue of the boot and the side of the shoe if you're able to get them on.

FYI: There are no store accommodations for making straps on shoes longer for bigger people.

I would recommend these shoes yes, but not to someone my size.

honestly the steel tip being weighted is my favorite part of this shoe. i love how heavy they are. my minor complaint is that the coating rubs off onto my fingers and the tongue of the boot gives a bit of trouble when it doesn't want to be malleable when zipping them up to put on. they're honestly more comfortable to walk in than i expected, and they pair well with a lot of my outfits. i generally wear a men's 5-6, and a women's 7-8, the men's 5 fit perfectly.

These are some quality boots!! Thick leather and LOTS of metal. The soles are just the right thickness with a deep tread. They have a nice normal steel toe, not the round bulb type thing that usually makes steel toe look so goofy. The buckles and overall construction is really sturdy. Had them broke in and comfortable after about 4-5 hours wear. The sizing and fit is right on. I wear a 10.5, so an 11 is perfect with a good pair of socks on. They look incredible!! I've had more than one comment on them already. Perfect for the club, cemetery, battlefield, or even the far reaches of the wasteland! Can not go wrong with these! One of my fave pair of boots ever!!
