This boot is trim and stylish, and doesn't look goofy like a lot of other Chelsea's I've seen.I wear a 9.5 dress shoe and ordered a 9 in this boot. It fits perfectly snug. Break in period wasn't long. There was a little pressure on my toes but that's fine - Dress shoes and boots should be tighter and not looser: if it's too loose, you run the risk of looking like you have disproportionally large feet.The color of this boot is great (brown) and the leather shines reasonably well with Saphir.Excellent for use on a motorcycle.For my first Chelsea boot I'm very pleased.In the future, I'll need to stich the inner elastic to tighten it around my upper ankles.WearingI bought these for work and they are very comfortable. As a Flight Attendant my suitcase space is limited. With these I can pack a pair of black jeans and shirt with these boots for the perfect dinner outfit on a layover.Great looking and comfortable.I liked the product!WorkFelt like an entire size too long.These boots came in almost 2 sizes to small , I wear a 12 and without even trying them on , Nope not even close, what a waste of time , ended up going to a shoe store in person and buying 2 pair... total failure :(
