Fortunately, they have an easy return policy if they don't fit you.

Reasonably priced but I'm also a bit biased because I try to buy made in America as much as I possible can. So although an Alden is probably a better boot (albeit more expensive) they're not made here.
This is news to me. The last I heard Alden was made in the USA. Has something changed recently? There are others as well although many less than there were decades ago. But Whites, Nicks, WESCO, Rancourt, Oakstreet Bootmakers, and Allen Edmonds certainly are as well, just that Whites is no longer owned by a USA company.
