These are the best combat boots that I have found in a barefoot, but would benefit from the toe box being a bit wider. Got my usual 41. I slip around a bit in them, usually put in a thin North Sole to take care of that.
Agree with others that the heel is large, my heels slip in them. What worked for me is using a "heel lock" lacing technique that others on Reddit recommended. Now my heels stay in place. Look up "heel lock lacing" to see how it's done. Otherwise, the boots feel very roomy and comfortable. I did have to play around a ton with the tightness of the laces to get them just right, felt a little finnicky (otherwise they were either too tight or too loose).
What a great idea, Gengar! Thank you so much for leaving this review to help others. We hope to serve you again soon. :)

These are gorgeous boots. Their construction looks solid and well done. After reading all the reviews stating on how roomy they are, I was very hopeful, but I found that they are not quite as wide as I was expecting. I am hoping to get them to stretch out some. The heel area, as stated in other reviews, is too roomy. There is not enough of a cupping of the heel as is found in other boots that I own to prevent the heel from slipping as you walk. I’ve inserted heel grips to counteract the slippage, but I haven’t worn them long enough to give adequate feedback on this solution.
Gosh, after months I finally got these boots to work for me. I have pizza shaped feet, so the toe box of these boots accommodates my wide forefoot nicely. Like others, my heel kept slipping and it gave me bad blisters, even after adding the wool liner.
If I could do things over again knowing what I know works now, I would invest in a sheepskin liner that I can cut to fit this boot, and heel pads. At one point, I had both the tongue and heel pads and it was a nightmare put on these boots without crazy friction.
If it weren't so frustrating to get the fit down, I would've given these boots 5 stars. I do love the look. I don't know what's going on with the heel- perhaps if you have voluminous feet, this would be your unicorn.
Loving the look of these! I’m usually between a 39/40. Measure 25 inches on my larger foot. I ordered a 39 and the wool inserts and socks they fit well! The heel is a bit wider than necessary but doesn’t seem to rub or irritate me.
