Full leather upper, Gortex Crosstech lined.

Very comfortable boot with plenty of arch support. Work 12 hour shifts and have zero fatigue at the end of shifts. No break-in period. Easy maintenance leather, 2 zone locking laces for comfort.
Horween Color 8 Chromexcel
Length: Perfect
Width: Perfect
Very good length and width, even at 10 D. The width at my toes is essentially the same as the width at the ball of my feet, and these boots fit well, even at the D width. To me, the boots also provide very good arch support. I would not pay full price, but I would buy a new pair at a 30% discount. These boots are surprising comfortable out of the box. In my opinion, the fiberboard footbed and leather outsole make this a very comfortable boot, even brand new.

Break-in was close to non as these boots come with a comfortable insole. Very light and easy to wear. They are leaning true to size even sneakers (size up half from Brannock Device) I added leather laces and homemade tongue guards. No gusseted tongue on this boot. They come with a wide toebox and lightweight Vibram sole.

Length: Slightly Long
Width: Slightly Wide
I bought these as a work boot for chores, yardwork, whatever I need them for. These are super comfortable and perfectly tough for anything I reasonably need. I got them slightly large for a relaxed fit, and they are perfect that way. It may not be the best way for using these as everyday intense labor work boots, but it is enough for me. QC is a bit lacking. Crooking stitching is present on the welt at the toe area and on the sole in the same area. Other than that, these are good, comfortable boots to kick around in.
Dune Chromexcel from Horween

These fit very well with Kirkland Merino Wool Socks. Roomy toe box and comparable to the Alden Barrie and Trubalance last. Great for someone with a wide ball and toes.
Horween Color 8 Shell Cordovan
Length: Perfect
Width: Perfect
Very comfortable at 10 E. Same size for me as the Alden Trubalance last. I tried these at 10.5 D and 10 D. 10.5 D was too long and 10 D was too snug at the ball and toes. I look forward to getting some Alden boots on the Barrie last at 10 E in the future.

I have limited experience with oxford dress shoes, but to this point, this is my favorite fitting oxford last. The shoes are very comfortable, even after walking more than a couple miles in a day. After the initial break in, there is a small V after lacing the shoes.
Alden 405
Length: Perfect
Width: Perfect
The Alden 405 is very comfortable. I typically walk about 2-3 miles per day and my feet feel fine at the end of the day when wearing these boots. The top of the quarters are close to touching when I lace the boots, but there is still about a 1 cm gap when tight.
Black classic round-toe styling, the 8165 features Black Chrome leather, white Traction Tred rubber outsole, speed hooks for easier lacing, triple-stitched quality, and Goodyear welt construction.
Length: Perfect
Width: Slightly Narrow
Weird fitting in width I have to wear them with thin socks. It was a hard leather/boot to break.
Grey and suede with green accents
Length: Very Short
Width: Moderately Narrow
the fit was very very short and also tight. I have to wear them with super thin socks. Other than that very grippy soles and good quality sneakers.
