These boots are made basically the same way as was done in the 1860s and issued by the govt., though men could purchase their own boots of a higher quality. Square-toed, they are wide enough for me and I wear a 9-Wide and might have been okay with a size 8-Wide in these boots. Well constructed and sturdy though unlined and your pant legs will probably have to be stuffed into them, but that's how these were worn back in their time. Excellent for reenactment. I shall be Lt.

I have a fair number of western boots. Some were for SASS, others for snake country. I will summarize these boots so you can decide for yourself. Overall, for the money, they are a good deal. The boots are not lined so they will sag unless you stuff your pants into them. Soles and heels are leather and will not stand up well to water. I bought rubber sole and heel caps and glued them on with Shoe Goo, also sealing the leather edges, boot heel, etc. My foot size is 10D. I often buy a size larger (since I don't run marathons in boots) in order to be able to remove them; but since I read so much of these boots being oversize, I bought 10 normal width. The length is good but the width is way large. I added insoles. There is no spur shelf so getting these off (with a tight fit) will be murder. The tops of my boots measured 18" in circumference. Since these boots measure 18" from heel to top, without a large circumference it would be very difficult to get your foot into a narrow shaft, tall boot, without a zipper. Ever wonder why people buy tall boots with zippers...this is why. These are the tallest boots I have ever found and I have 6 pairs of high-priced kicks. I bought these for work I do not want to subject $350+ boots to.

I was a little leery when purchasing these boots as the price seemed too good to be true compared to what other boots in the same style run.
Reviews overwhelmingly complained that the top opening was too big, which was a godsend for me, I have a hard time finding tall boots because I have massive Calf muscles and almost every boot is nowhere near loose enough in the stovepipe to get up my leg. These ones were perfect. Great value and made very well for the price. Toe is very very square, but i like it, reminds me of civil war era dragoon styled riding boots. Would buy again.

Purchased the tall riding boots in black. Fit very well.
Satisfied with the quality. The only way they could have been better is if they were fully leather lined so the shafts would stand on their own.

Teriffic boots. Ordered one full size smaller than my usual shoe size, and the fit is perfect.
Would happily recommend them to anyone.

For costume, light wear only. I returned them as I need something that is going to last.

These are fantastic boots. I have been eying them longingly for a while and finally ordered. As of this review, I have been wearing them for several weeks and have to report that they are excellent! The leather is high quality. These are well made, serviceable boots that would easily stand up to a day in the saddle--they are not cosmetic props. I was a little concerned at first because I have a difficult time getting a good fitting shoe, so I am cautious about ordering footwear I can't try on first. The other reviews are spot on about the sizing. The boots run large, so order down. I wear orthotics and envisioned winter hunting socks, so I ordered a 9 when I normally wear a 9.5 I have my orthotics in and thick socks and have a near perfect fit (they are actually just a tad on the roomy side, but that's what I wanted). Great boots!

These boots are very nice and comfortable. My only dislike is that the top of the boot is a little too wide. I am tall and thin. The width is suited for a much bigger calf.

Most people say order a size down. I would go so far as to say order two sizes down. I wear a size twelve, normally. But the size 10 boot fits perfectly. Solid construction. Better than anything you'd find at JC Penny's. I would say that the calf circumference is a bit large. It still works. But it doesn't quite have that narrow look all the way up that is seen so often in the old pictures. I do think they are worth the price.

After reading many of the reviews before purchasing the boots, I decided to go with my gut feeling. I wear 12.5 boot and decided to stay with the size 12. The fit was perfect. The toes were a little more square than I like and the spur ledge was a little narrow, but all in all great boots and a great value. I was amazed at how fast I received my purchase. Great customer service.

Leather bound awesomeness!
Love these boots! I have been burned on lesser quality boots, but these have more than made up for bad choices over the years. The fit is perfect - I went a whole size smaller based upon other reviewers recommendations and after speaking with a very nice and patient company representative. The height is perfect - I wanted something I could wear my knee breeches with without leaving a gap. They are also easy on, easy off - a major plus! Furthermore, the boots are stylish for multiple periods - no need to look any further.
And have I mentioned comfort? These fit the bill. I would buy again - and perhaps I shall! Best investment I ever made, worth every penny!
