I had to comment on the first review and suggest that maybe they got a poorly sized pair. I purchased these (the red and black patent ones) in my regular size and they fit fine, actually pretty comfortable, so if you can get them for a good price, don't let the negative review deter you. (Not to criticize the reviewer, I'm sure his pair was narrow, but I did not have the same experience.)That said, these are made in China and although they look cool, mine do kind of squeak when I walk in them. Might just be the patent leather, but I'd never stand for it if I paid full price. Hopefully they'll stop after I break them in. For the price I paid, they're a decent buy for a basic walking/hiking shoe.I've only had them 2 weeks so far so good. Had really good luck with the first pair I bought 3 years ago, wore out the inside, rest of the boot held tough.I asked them if I was the same size in boot for these compared to timberlands and I got a yes but in reality just get your actual size but besides that they are good qualityTHE CR BOOTS ARE MADE IN CHINA AND PERHAPS THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE. EVEN IS YOU FOLLOWED THE ANCIENT CHINESE CUSTOM OF BINDING YOUR FEET TO MAKE THEM SMALLER, YOU STILL COULDN'T FIT THEM IN THESE BOOTS.NARROW NARROW NARROW.......PAINFULLY NARROW.ENOUGH SAID.design like no other, different and cool...cant wait to wear them in the fall like weathers ahead. I will purchase again
