Yeah, wtf is this?! My package was in BC and now it's in Nashville as well. I'm in Toronto. Why didn't they just send it to Chicago like normal people and have them chuck it over the border like FedEx is known for doing?!

The high top 2013 models look like they have a different toe material, instead of an all nubuck one?

Are the low top boots pretty good too?
Just looking for a bit more feedback on size before I order.

hey, I just got a call from my mailbox that mine (high top tan) were delivered today. I'll send you a message on facebook with some pics when I get my hands on them.

Wait till Friday and you'll have all the feedback in the world. I get mine then as well. Assuming they don't go back across the border a few more times.

Got an outdoor game Saturday, so I'm looking forward to using them. I plan to use my low tops for indoors and maybe some hiking, and my high tops for outdoors.

I'm 11.5 4E with duck feet (very wide forefoot), no arches and cankles. this is, naturally, quite difficult to find good fitting footwear. normally wear New Balance shoes in 11.5 4E or Magnum boots in 11.5 wide.

my pair is the high top in tan
ordered 11.5, feels true to size in length (as previously pointed out, the toes fit differently than other shoes)
forefoot is snug for me, but comfortable
plenty of room in heel and ankle
insole is fine, but next to no (proper) arch support.

very breathable, has venting (probably not waterproof), look to be quite cool. forgive me if I don't feel like taking a hike at night in Calgary this time of year to find out for sure.

if you're a fully grown adult with normal feet and you know your properly measured foot size, they'll be fine.

addendum:
the tongue on these boots is practically non-existent over the top of the foot. if you're prone to lace bite on top of your foot this, and the thin laces it comes with, are your wost nightmare. the shins are much better. however, it does make the whole shebang quite light.

the ankle is incredibly flexible. it feels like wearing a regular shoe with a sock attached to the top. not entirely convinced it'll do much if your roll it, but I'm not going to go step off a curb funny to find out.

put in a different insole and changed the lacing pattern, now very comfortable for me.

Looks like the shipment has reached Mississauga from Nashville. Probably going to receive our packages tomorrow. Thanks Cliff!

Got my shoes at 8:00 this morning.

They sent me the wrong size. I ordered a size 10 low cut and high cut in black.
Both sizes say 10US on the box, but my high cut is marked 11US inside the tongue.

Just waiting to see what their response is.

Edit:

The low-cut shoe is very comfortable. It's made of more of a synthetic material throughout, and better padding at the ankle, which makes it feel heavier than the high-cut boot. I feel like the low-cut boot might almost have better ankle support (if that's something you care about). I didn't realize the tall boot has two vent holes on the inside of the foot, although their is a metal grate covering the hole that looks dense enough to stop solid water if your foot gets submerged (probably don't count on standing in water for long periods of time). The short boots do not have any vent holes that I can see.

Rubber is very sticky on my hardwood floors

Shoes just came in, fedex just left it on my porch so no need for signatures nor was there any duty fees, at least not up front.

I regularly wear 9.5 and i ordered a 9.5 so ill see how they fit once i get some time. Overall though everyone seems to be saying wonderful things, so i am excited!

Mine was found tossed at the end of my drive way by my wife today. FUCK YOU FEDEX.
Well, I got them so I am happy for that at least.

Got mine as well. Overall Im very happy.

The fit is better then expected, Size 12 is a 12.

Only issue is "0" ankle support.

Very grippy soul.

For the Price, Just wow, Get in on this deal asap

Yup, got mine last night, no taxes and no brokerage.

The 11.5s fit me so I have a pair each in black and tan in size 12 if anyone is looking.

Yeah, I think its pretty safe to say, get the size you are unless you like to have space, then go a half size up (no more). The low-top boots are very adjustable between wide and narrow feet, due to how the laces are set up.
