This is my first Dan Post boot and the fit is similar to Tony Llama and Ariat. They are sized a hair bigger than Justin and Luchese. I wear an E width boot, which are hard to find. I put an insole in my 9D and they fit snug for breaking in, because I want my boot to fit like a glove. Soft leather to comform to the foot. Too early to determine how they handle west Texas cactus or east Texas Locust thorns, but I'm happy with the fit for the price!! It has a medium square toe design and spur ridge
