These are very comfortable! I often wear size 12 US but have found in the past couple of purchases of international shoes it is best to go down one size. (Case and point- I initially purchased size 12 US and had to exchange for size 11 US.) Zero issues exchanging and they feel amazing.
I wore these all day, 12 plus hours, and did not want to take them off.
Seriously comfortable shoes!!!
This is my first ever pair of Veldies ... love the comfort and quality construction. Style is great, too. I wear a Men's Size 13 (U.S. sizing) so ordered the recommended size. It turns out the toe box is pretty roomy, and I probably could have ordered a size down ... decided to add some Spenco insoles to fill out the space and add a bit of extra cusion (though probably not needed if I had ordered a size smaller). I'm just a week into owning/wearing these, so not yet sure how they will wear and break in. Initial impression is very favorable, though -- definitely runs a bit large, though.
This is now my third pair of Veldskoen and I love them. They break in quick, look fabulous, and are very comfortable. If you are a half size, order down a size. I am a 10.5 and hate feeling claustrophobic in my shoes. I ordered 10 and had no issues. The sizing is very consistent.
Love these boots and have gotten compliments already. They do take some breaking in. I put insoles in and wear socks with them. If you like to go barefoot then order a size down.
