These boots are decent. They offer a typical Clarks fit in length (about 1/2 size smaller than most branded shoes). I wear an 11 1/2 consistently (often a 12 in Nikes) and I ordered these in 11 (as I do with all my Clarks shoes). The length is good but they are really narrow. I have moderately wide feet, so I am between wide widths and standard widths with my shoes. Clarks (like Florsheim and Skechers Relaxed Fit) typically have a wider toe box. These boots do not. I am hoping they'll stretch a little with wear. The leather is fairly thin, so I feel that they will. I ordered them in the "Leaf" color and they were spot-on with my expectation... sort of a dark olive/moss color with a hint of evergreen. As other reviewers have noted, the leather does wear quickly. Cracks and wear marks show almost immediately and are highly visible. I am fine with this look because these are casual boots for me (jeans/chinos). The style of these boots is not geared for dress attire. The lighter "gum" sole and distressed leather do not lend themselves to a dress-look. They are ideal for simple, casual wear. If you don't like a worn/distressed look, don't go with these boots. If you have a wide(r) foot, do not go with these boots. For all others, I think they're a good choice for casual style and comfort.
