Runs small and a smidge narrow. Definitely go up 1/2 a size in these.

Description
Inspired by the ultimate Hamburg Chelsea boot, as seen on The Beatles in the early years, or when Dylan went electric, John wanted to recreate the timeless rock'n'roll boot in The Cairo. Made in Vietnam using glossy Italian leathers, partial blake construction on the the unisex Gateway last with an almond toeshape, leather soles, and a 2" stacked leather Cuban heel, one could almost hear the warm, fuzzy buzz of the Vox AC30.

Such style and comfort!
In Fluevogs I'm usually a 9.5, or 10 for more narrow styles, but have unfortunately wide feet, so after looking at reviews I opted to go up to 10.5 for these and whereas they're a little big (roomy at the heel, a smidge long), the width was perfect. Since I have wider feet, I don't think the 10s would have been comfortable and these are certainly not too big to wear. They're showstoppers! I got so many compliments on these my first day wearing them out. The sole is a little slick at first, but give them a day of wear and they'll already start to feel fantastic, very comfortable. I wish I could have got the burgundy, too!
10/10 for Style, 5/10 for Comfort
As for comfort, these boots are stiff and fit narrow. I have narrow feet myself and need to go half a size up to accommodate the tightness. The sales associate mentioned these boots do not require breaking in, however, the shoes remain stiff after 3 months of wear, especially the sole. Bottom of my feet started to hurt within 2 hours. I would expect these to be more comfortable given the cost.
Love these. Perfect first pair.
feminine, masculine, gorgeous
Love these, but wish they had a rubber toe sole.

I get compliments all the time - they're gorgeous.
Another great pair of boots
i never take these off
Relieved.
I'm usually a true women's 9.5 but, after reading the reviews, ordered a half-size up because these boots apparently run a tad narrow. I'm so glad I did. The 10 fits perfectly, even though my foot is just a tad on the wide side (wide enough to be uncomfortable in most designer shoes but never wide enough to order the W width). The toe box is very roomy and the heel is just the right height: not too tall, but tall enough to get me to 6'0" (win!). The inside is roomy enough for a moderately thick sock (not wool but maybe a substantial cotton one, absolutely necessary for the colder months).
And the shoe! The shoe! It's beautiful and well-made and the leather is buttery and just gorgeous. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the Cairo looks and feels its price. Best purchase ever. Fluevog convert 100%.
