I've been converted to shoes made on the Munson last by the classic American woodcraft writers of the early 20th century: Horace Kephart strongly endorses this shoe. So I got these on his a century-old advice. The shoes are well made from good-quality leather with strong stitching and sturdy laces. They are very comfortable out of the box and will probably take very little breaking in. The wide front area accommodates a wider foot very well. As regards fit, they seem to run large, leaving room for insoles and strong socks. I was a bit disappointed that mine had some scuffing and small black discolourations on the uppers. They will get marks from use eventually, but you don't expect this from a 150-Dollars pair of boots out of the box. There is also some newspaper stuck to the insides of the boots, I would have preferred to find a big cheque or a treasure map....

My shoes just showed up, and they look great. They appear to be well made, are correct in size, and generous in width. A little saddle soap, and some neatsfoot oil to give them a lived in look, and they'll be hard to distinguish from an original pair. Thanks Jerry!

Well done Jerry! The fit was perfect, and they say that the shoes makes the man. I have been wearing the every day since their arrival. Comfort is the word. It won't take long until they take on that old campaigner look Thanks again Jerry. what would we do without ye.
