I first saw them at the Kohl site. I ordered because I couldn't try them on locally, my typical size is 11. When they arrived I couldn't even squeeze in. I confirmed that it was indeed a size 11 which is listed on both the outside of the box and the bottom of each tongue of the shoe. So I go back to Kolya's website and look for size 11.5. They didn't have 11.5 as an option. They weren't sold out. It just wasn't that big. Strange! So I searched Revain for 11.5" and they were there. I ordered these thinking the extra 1/2 inch would be perfect. They arrived today and as GOD as my witness I tell you, that there was NO DIFFERENCE in size. How can it be? Don't you think that with ANY shoe or boot size increase by half an inch you will immediately notice the difference? So now I have to send them back. From what I did just experienced with this particular lugz i don't want to buy another pair if i can't find them locally to try on! is a size 12 ok? dunno! buyers beware. in one of the two reviews the man says his 10 ,5 is "size to the point." Interesting.
