Looking at several pair online. How is the fit? Can I order my normal shoe size?

Any comments on the different materials? Calf vs Ostrich vs Goat

I wear my normal size. Have a goat skin pair and I love them. The ones made in Texas are more expensive than the Mexican made ones but are higher quality.

I wear a smaller size in lucchese than other boots but I wouldn't buy them without trying them on

Closest dealer is 1+ hour away. I guess I could roll up there.

yes, but you really should try them on before you buy.

I have a pair of caimans that fit with my regular shoe size.
I would recommend finding somewhere to try them on first.

Be very careful with alligator/caiman. They do not stretch. If they don't fit you on day one, they never will. Leather will stretch. Alligator will crack or tear. Get exactly the right size or send them back.

I'd start with one pair and if you like them get the others.

Aren't you going to ask us about taking them for an extended test wear?

I have a pair of full quill Ostrich. Definitely go try them on if you can, anything handmade is going to vary in size. I tried on a few different pairs at the store, all the same size, and they all fit differently.

They are the only ones I've found that actually fit. I have long, narrow feet and low arches, FWIW. Same size as normal.

Got the elephant skin and absolutely love them.

Also get the classics

The other lines like 1883s aren't made as well

Try them on before you buy or send them back if they don't fit. Don't generally buy boots online unless I'm replacing exactly what I wore out before
