Tony Lama's can't be beat for style, quality, and most importantly, comfort! They may not have the exact look you are after, or may have been built on a "last", (basically a sole shape), that isn't perfect for your feet which was the case with this particular pair of boots... But they're SOOO worth checking out!
As for this boot, ohhh they are gorgeous! (This from a woman who hasn't bought any footwear in brown of ANY kind in 30 years!) Generally black just goes with my wardrobe and brown seldom does. But these are an amazingly cool almost taupe brown that would go with anything! Lol, so I held on to these a few days slipping into them and just standing sometimes a bit just till I could bear to give them up! I could have taken them in to be stretched out or done the water treatment, the difference is not enormous between styles, but I know from experience that Tony Lama has other styles that just fit my foot shape better right out of the box and even feel ok a size too small!, just tight, not painful, not that I'd want to be cleaning stalls in them! :-) Their Santa Fe line is super if you are having trouble finding that nice snug "throat" without losing room in the foot box. I'm going to be trying their Sierra Goldrush tho too.
THIS boot is from heel to toe rather on the slim side, or at least made for a well proportioned foot guess! That's not me! I've got weird feet, slim heels and instep, but wider across the ball of my foot and toes. So to get the room in the foot box I'd have to give up that wonderful snug fit in the instep and arches losing stability when I'm working, and resulting in early foot fatigue.
Used to be, I could get even tall boots easily over my calves, even when pregnant. But due to a thyroid condition I've gained a ton of weight and I was worried about the slightly higher shaft, something I always loved, but even now I haven't had a problem with that in any of Lama's boots! I even got into the coolest pair of 15", zipper-less boots! But not so much room that I think someone with slim calves would have an issue with them. Especially this pair. But you women who express concern about this, give Tony Lama's a whirl!
Why I'm sticking with Tony Lama's is simple. The quality leather, good stout thick soft leather uppers and super soft silky leather lining so well crafted, smooth enough for bare feet, all supported by a strong full leather sole and heel. The kind of boots that will last for years if cared for even a little! Oh, and as for size they are pretty much right on, they certainly don't run big anyway, start with your regular size.
I've tried other brands, and I just trust this boot maker! Too many are giving up good fit and tough quality for style. I can't afford to do that, not do I want the discomfort. :-)
