I just wanted to make a comment on the sizing. I ordered a pair of these boots in size 10 1/2. L.L. Bean suggests these boots be used with heavy weight socks. I read some of the comments on this site that suggested that these boots be ordered about a half a size smaller. These comments seemed to relate to the width. When I tried mine on I found that a better fit would have been a half a size smaller than my regular size in both length and width. Wearing heavy duty socks with the boots probably would have solved the problem but I wanted to use the boots in light/medieum hiking sitations and not have to fool with heavy duty sock, especially during the summer.

I returned them-L.L. Bean has excellant customer service and I had no problems. For those that are into really good leather, I think Scarpa uses better leather. Although these are good.
