Just received my Chelsea Boots. Really like the nice soft leather, good quality. Fit seems a little small. I wear an 8 1/2 -9 normally. Purchased the size 40. Hopefully they will stretch a little. Taking them to my trusted shoe repair man to have them stretched. Fingers crossed! I'm a little picky and don't like anything too tight on my toes. The leather is such nice quality, I have a feeling it will stretch out perfectly. The quality of the boot is exceptional, style is exactly as pictured. Really nice! I hope they stretch a little, I'd like to order another pair of boots.
