These are a great fit, true to my normal shoe size.
Since I got the Ridge boots, I was able to enjoy Bike Week at Daytona more than I have in prior years.
I ended up trading these boots out for the wide size 14s but so far the fit and comfort are as expected.

    I had forgotten I ordered these on Amazon. I usually buy footwear where I can try them on. These boots arrived quickly and fit spot-on right out of the box.

    These Ridge boots are the best I've ever owned. I've worn everything from combat boots through cowboy boots to outdoors and hiking boots and motorcycle boots but I like these the best. They are waterproof, supportive and comfortable. Best of all, they weigh no more than a pair of good running shoes.

    Apparently these are designed primarily for para-military and law enforcement but I like them for riding the motorcycle because here in Florida, you can't avoid getting caught in the rain. They are absolutely non-slip on wet surfaces and entirely water proof. I also found that their cushioning, support and light weight allows me to be on my feet far longer at stops and outings. I have arthritis in my lower back and hips and used to not be able to stray from somewhere to sit. Since I got the Ridge boots, I was able to enjoy Bike Week at Daytona more than I have in prior years.

    The cons: The gusset on the zippered sides can be daunting but you just have to learn to tuck and smooth it in first and the zipper will feel like it's buttered. The second con is that the laces aren't long enough without lacing the boots to gangrenous tension. I solved that problem by buying a set of those little black grommets on Amazon. Each one extends from the boot lace-hole by a fraction of an inch and when you add up four on each side, you get more than enough of a boost in lace length.

    I have recommended these boots to whomever will listen and everyone who has bought them has been as pleased and satisfied as I am. I see a lot of retired LEOs who ride with us wearing them and many local officers wearing them as duty footwear.

    I have owned these boots for 2 years now and they are by far the most comfortable boot I have owned. I use them as [motorcycle] riding boots and after 2 years they are scuffed up a bit and the soles are worn down, but that is to be expected, especially since I practically live and work in these boots. I probably wear these 250 days of the year and was excited find them online as I just purchased my second pair. I rode through the eye of Tropical Storm Beryl and they held up well, but after 9 hours of riding through a storm, water finally pierced my rain suit and the intrusion into the boot came from water running down my leg. Other than that, I have never had a problem with water. The zipper is a bit tough to zip up, especially when you first get the boot, but after a few weeks, it becomes much easier.

    Love the design of these boots. They look nice and actually have tread on the bottom. So many work boots are next to flat but these will be great through winter. My only complaint is that they are too tight. I have a wide foot and these are suppose to be 2E so they should fit pretty easily but my feet hurt pretty bad on these. I've worn them for a week now hoping they'll break in and loosen up but not yet.

    I have been wearing these for almost a month now for 15 hour days 15 days a month with no problems. I am very easy on the zipper making sure to pull the sides together by hand while tucking the liner in. As for comfort they decent I would not compare them with a running or walking shoe, but for a boat they are very good. Before these boats I had a pair of Converse Waterproof Insulated SWAT Zipper Boots that lasted 3 years, but were very difficult to take on and off. These boats are so easy to take on and off it is amazing. So after a long day it is effortless to remove these boats which is a big deal to me. Break in time was little to none, but would recommend wearing them around the house first just in case. I will be adding an insole just for added comfort soon.

    I have owned this exact pair of boots in the past. I ordered a 10.5 wide, the exact size of the pair I currently have. They arrived and they are TINY. My friend is a size 9 and they were tight on him. The boots say 10.5 on the tongue, but there is absolutely no way they are a 10.5. I can barely even get my foot into the boot. BEWARE!

    i have had the boots 1 week , so i really can't say anything about the durability. they fit as expected. great tracksion , i walk in snow and over icy roads. the zipper is ok , seem's a little weak , but time will tell. the zipper is also curved on the boot so on and off is a little bit harder then if it was a straight zipper boot. there is also a flap half way up the zipper for water proofing. it has gotten stuck in the zipper twice the first couple of days but none since. the boots are breaking in as expected. i bought these boots to replace bates and converse boots. i would give the boots 3 stars i will update on the durability.
    update on boots after 1 year boots did very well in the winter. excellent walking threw snow kept my feet dry and warm when shoveling snow, ok on ice. only had a few weeks of -40 , boots did well no seam popping zipper still good on boots. the only bad thing with the boot is the flap , it gets stuck in the zipper. the tread is wearing well. I will give them 4 stars the flap zipper thing is the only reason its 4 stars. they took about 2 weeks to break in.
