Everyone (I hope) has met a person whose presence just makes you smile, and when you go on your way, you share the joy with others. Well, this shoe-boot is like that. The moment I opened the box, I couldn't help but smile. It has such character: a little WWII GI, a little Charlie Chaplin, and a lot of modern
street savvy Rocker with those studs. A great new boot-shoe from
Old Gringo. Have only worn it around the house, but it seems to have the OG comfort factor. As to sizing, in my dozens of
Lucchese boots, I'm a 6. But with
Old Gringo, I'm a 5-1/2. I have these in the 6 (smallest offering), and will need extra thick
socks to keep my heel from slight movement. Wide footers will like the rounded toe and wider vamp. My narrower foot has room. The leather isn't as thick as that on my dozen OG
cowboy boots, but it is still sturdy. I got both this boot and the black boot with embroidered flowers. Needless to say, I'm still smiling.
