This is my second pair of western style boots. The first pair, I bought several years ago and could never get them to fit properly. In shoes and hiking boots, I normally wear size 10-1/2 or 11. I have finally found that pull on style boots fit differently and that the boot size shouldn't be your first indication of what necessarily fits your foot. It helps to find a store where the stock is out on the floor so you are free to try on several different sizes until you find one that fits. Even better, but harder to find these days, would be a good shoe store with a salesperson that actually knows their product and will take the time to "fit" you with the proper size. I opted for the big box store and watching the boot fit video on the Justin Boot website. Once you learn how the boot is supposed to fit upon first putting a pair on, you can get a good idea of your proper size. For me, a size 10 D was perfect. Hence the reason I posted the fit as running somewhat large. I'm conflicted by this but hope it will help people who, like me, were in the mindset that size 11 boots should fit.
Now on to the boot itself, these boots are made in the USA which is a plus. The workmanship is excellent for a boot in this price range and I don't feel that they need any real break in. The leather isn't super thick, but I don't expect any western boots to be thick like my hiking boots, you wouldn't be able to walk in them. Like my favorite hiking boots and most quality western boots, these can be resoled. I like the fact that if taken care of, these can last beyond most other modern footwear. The vamp color is a little lighter than what my computer monitor rendered, more of a light toffee color but I imagine it could be darkened by applying saddle soap or an oil. Regardless, I am happy with the color. My wife and kids did give me some ribbing on the color and loud stitching on the shaft, but they stay hidden under my jeans anyway.
All in all, a very nice American made boot for the money and I like them enough that I will probably buy another pair in a different color, especially, now that I know what fits.

They are ok, but ….
Boots are ok, but after a weeks worth or wear the color on the shaft has began flaking off. These weren’t worn for work boots, and have only been worn to the office and church. So guess we’ll see how it goes.
