The dye is a little funky as it tends to run when wet butit seems to have run its course and should not run again. I did the standard US Army drill of putting the boots on, filling them with water from the garden hose and then wearing them until dry and they broke right in after wearing them for the long day. I don;t see anyother way to do it as they are pretty stiff out of the box. I wear US size 10-1/2 E and I bought size 11 and they fit me fine with white crew socks. The bottoms are studded and plated. It would be nice to consider offering them studless and plateless so we can wear them at home on the hardwood floors as the RAF boys wore them in the aeroplanes. Good quality all leather boot.

Definite improvements over the first batch. The tongue is now longer and the soles less thick so the boot looks much more professional. It will take some time to break them in but I am very happy with the product.
