love the look and they feel sturdy and great once on! However, quite loose in the heal so have to wear thick socks and strap tight to ware. But overall love these boots!!

Could not even try on as they were very narrow. I really liked the interior finish.

I bought a pair of these about two months ago. I ordered a 10.5 wide and they fit almost perfect. I say almost because they are a little stiff but they loosened up quickly and are very comfortable. However, the right boot squeaks and that's why I took off a star. I mean it squeaks alot. Loudly. People look at me when I approach to see what the noise is. Besides having the loudest shoes in my neighborhood, I really like them. Almost as much as my other Ariat Roper work boots, which don't squeak by the way. I have other leather lace up boots that do not make a hint of noise when I walk besides the sole hitting the floor so I know they can make these boots "squeakless."

I usually wear a 10.5 in dress shoes, an 11 in New Balance and a 10.5 in my Oboz hikers. I tend to be on the upper end though and because of that I usually shy away from ordering online, except for Zappos, of course! Over the last few years I've been hiking more and more and my feet have widened some. I ordered the 10.5 in the wide version and they fit great. They are very comfortable and I wear them for work in the office and on my off days. When I first put these on they were a little stiff and I only wore them about four hours. They made my feet a little sore but it went away quickly. The next day I put them on and wore them all day. They didn't hurt and they loosed up somewhat in the sole. Since then, they are very comfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to wear them traveling when I would be walking long hours. HOWEVER.....my only issue with these is that the right boot squeaks like crazy. It squeaks loud enough that everyone looks to see who's coming in the office as I approach. I haven't begun messing with the leather yet because I want to see if it will subside. I'm going to say that it doesn't squeak as loud as it did the first week. But it still squeaks loud enough that people look to see what the noise is when I walk by. Besides being one of the loudest shoes I've ever worn, I really like them and since I haven't seen any others with this complaint I'm guessing I'm the lucky one who got that loud boot, but I'll recommend them to anyone.

Size 9 was slightly too long (loose in the heel area for me), so tried the 8.5. Liked the look and feel of the shoe, but the bone in my heel aligned perfectly with a seam in the heel area which caused me some pain in the 8.5 size. The rest of the feel was great and I'm disappointed I can't keep these.

Shoe was very comfortable out of the box; however, it felt slightly long. My heel moved a bit too much. Arch was fine for me (I have high arch). Will try the 8.5 vs the 9 ordered.

I bought the boots because I liked the chukka stye but wanted something a little more rugged. The tread on the sole of the boot has been great for walking across campus and short hikes when scouting after class. Only complaint is that the tongue can slip to the side after a lot of walking. Took me a couple days to break them in but now VERY comfortable.

Only had them a month and they are wearing in well. They seem to run extremely narrow as I had to send them back to get the extra wide and they're STILL a little too snug. I do not wear wide sizes in any other brand. They've started to stretch enough that I can get by. They look great and hide scuffs well. They do feel a little heavy on your feet which takes a little getting used to.

Bought a 10.5 EE. Wore them to a outdoor beer festival the first day, which involved a good bit of walking on wet/muddy ground; it was on and off raining that day. Traction and the comfort of the insole made the day easy of my feet. The heel of the shoe was quite loose in the first couple of days wearing them, really had to tie them right to help break them in. Now 3 weeks later they are great. They are my day to day go-to shoe when I'm not wearing work boots. Also I have really broad feet across the ball of my foot and these shoes are very accommodating.

This chukka boot looks great, especially with the moccasin toe. The sole is slip resistant, yet clean, and the color blends with the shoe. Best of all, you can get it in a wide (E) width, and that sealed the deal for me.

Squeaky! The bottom of the shoes are extremely squeaky on smooth concrete. I wear them at the office and it's all I hear when walking and everyone lets me know it too.

I'm torn on these. They look great, the leather is high quality and they are durable but they just aren't comfortable. Maybe I'm too used to comfy, cushy Cole Haan's but these soles are like concrete - it's like I'm wearing a pair of Vans! I'll also echo another reviewer - they are smokin' hot on California summer days.

I have an older pair of Ariat boots which are wonderful.I have a wide foot this boot while very well made and good looking, was too narrow for me. I ordered the same size as my older pair 8W.

Ive owned a pair of these Lookout boots for 2 weeks now, and have worn them everyday. I expected them to soften with use BUT that just hasn't happened. I still feel like I'm walking around in swim fins ! The leather is brutally hard when new, something akin to boilerplate, and it's not getting better. Perhaps IF they had been assembled a bit differently and from a softer leather they would be the answer to a nice everyday casual work-around boot, but so far it's not happening !

Handsome boots. Well-made. Long and narrow. Prefer wider toe-box. These may have broken in and become more comfortable over time but I didn't want to take a chance.

Despite cinching the strings my heel slipped to the point that the leather in the heel tore open. The leather is very soft and break in was easy. Soles are stiff at

Ordered a 12 EE wide and these are far from wide, otherwise I like them. The length was just right.

I have worn these for the last 9 months and eventually as with any shoe, the stitching wore and I have to get a new pair. The reason for the three rating is that during the time I owned them, I had to replace the laces 3 times because the eyelets were too sharp. Very inconventient!

Great boot, have had them a year except my shoelace literally ripped in half today. Other than that, totally recommend them.

Really nice looking boots, very good quality craftsmanship, but the sizing runs a bit smaller. I wear a wide size shoe, and their EE wide is closer to a D size.

Nice looking boot, but abnormally narrow. The left boot seems to be more narrow than the right. I dont have this issue with any other boot or shoe that I own. Would not recommend unless you have a narrow foot.

I bought these shoes a while ago and unfortunately waited too long to return them. I've always worn a D width but these feel like a B. They are well made but the sizing is way off.
