Not just for guys! I wear a size 11 in women's shoes and I ordered the 42. It is a perfect fit and this is a very sharp harness boot!

Fantastic - I wear a 9 and these fit me fine, slightly big but nothing a thick pair of socks won't fix. Very comfortable.

Great Shoe. No break in required! I've had these boots for a few days now and worn them to work every day. The fit is great and they don't need to be broken in. I'm a size 11 so I chose EU size 45 which works out to US size 11.5. I'm glad I did because the fit is perfect and they look good too.

Good Style, Not Good Quality - SIZE: I'm a 10.5 size and the 43 fits perfectly. QUALITY: The Buckle on the side does nothing, purely for show. The buckle on top does make it tighter but the boot does not handle it well (leather folds funny in the back). The leather is very thin and not warm. The toe is well built, unlikely to lose form. The sole feels weak like the heel is penetrating through it. Support is decent and holds my foot well. The seal on the inside of the zipper is a very thin cheap piece of foam-like material and barely comes across the other side of the zipper when zipped. STYLE: Awesome shape to the boot. The "rugged, worn" look is some crappy powder and when I put leather lotion on, it came right off! PRICE: I could see them being sold at a department store for less. *****After trying several pairs of boots, I've concluded that if you want style and quality, go Frye. If you want quality and some style, go Ugg. If you want cheaply made and good looks, go Type Z.*******

Great boot - I was a little leery about ordering a boot brand I never heard of, but I liked the looks. I couldn't be happier. I feel like I'm wearing a pair of slippers. I own Mark Nason boots at $495 a pair and they don't fit this well. I got the tan Hectors on sale. A GREAT deal. I wear US size 11D and called Zappos customer service for the European equivalent. They suggested size 44. They are true to size in every way. They have SUPERIOR arch support.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: I usually buy only Frye boots. The Hector is actually more comfortable (at 1/3 the price.).

Great boots - I was very impressed with the weight of the boots. They are very comfortable. I was bummed that the sizing didn't show US sizing since it's labeled inside the boot. I am an 8.5, but had to order 42 to be on the safe side (use 2 pairs of socks). Excellent product...

These are beautiful boots but run very small length-wise. Order a half-size up. I normally wear a 7.5 or an 8, but I need an 8.5 in these.
