Boyfriend wears 12D but this one was too tight. Too bad. The cranberry was a great color. Disappointed.Good bootsThis my second pair. I wear them every dayVery easy to get on with boot hooks (that I bought with the bootsI always buy this brand of boot and as always a great fit and last a long time.fit well a little lose but closeThe boots are a great color, an antique brown I guess you would call them. The leather smell out of the box is amazing. Good quality for the price. Most of the reviews and even YouTube videos say that when buying a Dan Post boot, buy a half size smaller than what you usually wear. However, every time I do that, the boots are too small, so I always get my exact shoe size which is 8.5. I like to wear dress socks with my cowboy boots. Lo and behold, they are a bit loose with the dress socks. I tried them with a pair of regulars sweat socks and they fit much better. The problem with boots, or any kind of footwear for that matter is that you don’t really know how the fit is going to be until you wear them-a lot.I have only worn them for three days now and they were not full days of walking around. They could be slightly more snug I feel. But I also feel that an 8 would have been too small. I might try the old trick of submerging them in a bucket of water for a few minutes and leaving them out in the hot sun for a while which helps to make boots smaller. I did this with a beloved pair of Double H Harness boots that I had the same exact problem with and it worked, they now fit perfectly and that is a much thicker leather with a rubber soul. Nice trick if you want to try it.I will be buying Dan Post boots again. I would probably go a half size smaller this time.I wasn't sure at first what rating I was going to give this product. This was my first pair of cowboy boots. My dad used to wear something similar, and he passed away last March. I always liked the way his boots looked, so I thought I'd buy a pair of my own. I didn't know the soles were going to be so slick. It wasn't until I looked up why cowboy boots were slick on the bottom (to get into stirrups easier on horses) that I realized I didn't get a defective pair or something. The slickness goes away with time as the bottom gets marked up by terrain, and I've gotten loads of compliments. I'm happy with my purchase and I wear them everywhere. So, Good on ya, John Post! They be pricey, but I'd do it again :)Arrived punctually. A handsome, well-made pair of boots as Dan Post always are. They also don't need 'breaking in.' As soon as the sole leather softens they fit like a glove - another benefit of buying Dan Post boots.Great boots, great fit, and great service/delivery from Flukey.Difficult to find great boots in the UK especially when one has experience and high standards from being a virtually constant boot wearer when living in the USA for almost 20 years - and even on Amazon, there are very few of the top boot makers represented or available.

Just as described, fast delivery great price - thank you!
