Ordered these for my husband. They fit perfectly and he said they are very comfortable. He mentioned that he no longer has pain while being on his feet all day. This is his 2nd pair of Bates boots/shoes and he loves them everytime.Good boot for colder part of the year.Used Bates when I was in in the 90s, always good quality. I bought these one size bigger and they were still a bit tight. Im going to keep them and break them in.. Next time I will try the next size up.i love these boots they are very comfortable. i wear a size 11.5 but get one size up for the best comfort to compensate for the socks and wiggle room. you wont be upset... my doctor even recommended me to wear them since i get foot pain for standing long time, and my arthritis. and wearing these, my pain has decreased.These look great, outstanding traction in snow, and keep my feet warm well below 20f with a medium weight sock. Only dislike is the puny laces. Too thin for this type of footwear.Boots run small. Purchase a size up.Feels great and looks good...havnt really had a chance to break them inTo tight for a tactical fitGreat boots comfortable,, glad I purchased this
