I bought this pair and another pair in black for my 22 year old grandson to wear to uni. He usually wears a size 13 which fits him perfectly. So I originally ordered them in size 13-13.5. He said they were too big. So I reordered in the 12-12.5 range. He pointed out that they were even slightly larger than his regular size 13 shoes. He decided to keep them because he was impressed with their comfort, probably the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn. He's a big kid and his boots can take a beating. They appear to be very well made, but time will tell.
