1. ell , though maybe a little snug. Usually I like to wear thicker wool socks in daily life, but I had to start wearing thin dress socks to fit into the shoe. I would also add that I have very normal feet shape with a medium-high arch. Hopefully this information helps others make their own sizing judgements. 2. There was a small break in for these shoes, which I hadn’t really expected. But within a few days they fit much more comfortably than straight out of the box. Some small critiques: 1. Laces - the laces are too short. The laces provided are approximately 80cm. They may work well laced as dress shoes, but using the typical cross-lacing method I found them too short. I replaced them with 100 cm laces that work out much better. 2. A common criticism I saw for all the Derby models is that the heel is too short, which makes the feeling that the shoe will slip off the foot. I don’t think it’s too bad, and I think it will get better with wear, but I understand that feedback. All in all, I’m very satisfied with my purchase of these Waxed Leather Moc Toe Derby’s. Their quality is apparent and the product is exactly what I thought I would be buying. I’m sure that in the future I’ll be coming back to Grant Stone for ardditional pairs in their offerings.

Excellent quality and wonderful customer service. I can’t recommend Grant Stone enough.

Exceptionally comfortable from day one. The Seidel American Bison leather has beautiful depth and texture, rugged yet refined, and sure to age well. The green Dr. Sole outsole adds a subtle, distinctive touch that complements the build perfectly. Thoughtful materials, excellent balance, and classic Grant Stone craftsmanship.

Great shoes

Great customer service

I absolutely love these boots the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. They look amazing with just about anything I wear and feel even better after breaking them in. Definitely worth every penny and one of my favorite purchases this year!

Love them. Second pair I bought from Grant stones in two weeks.

Always great customer service with quick responses to questions and actual human interactions

As always, Grant Stone is second to none. Probably my favorite brand to buy from.

Great fit advice and return info.

Love the quality and comfort of my boots.

I was looking for a seude style loafer for casual wear that would go with a lot of my clothing. This one is the one I chose and it looks great. I am still in the stage of breaking it in but it feels good on the foot. I even wear it as a house slipper at times that I don’t worry about going out in the garage or outside with the dog wearing.

No issues with the service. Company does a good job.

Nice shoe

Having already purchased the same style in Green/Forest Kudu, I bought a pair of Crimson Kudu boots for my brother. He loves the fit and the color. As we both have wider feet, we especially appreciate the availability of the E width. I actually like the Crimson color so much that I'm now contemplating buying a second pair for myself.

Shipping, returns and customer service was exceptional!

Fast shipping, good size advice
