leather stretches way more than you think.....especially after the leather gets wet. I am betting that the camo is made out of cordura which is a tough material. Like i said before and others have stated......try the boots on with the sock you will be wearing.

Is the show store nameD "WORKING PERSONS BOOTS"? If so I just ordered a pair of bates duty boots much cheaper then the uniform stores in my area and cheaper then any other store on-line.

When getting new hunting boots (which I need) I goto the store and bring with me the sock and or socks I will wear while hunting, I always get at least one size bigger then what I need. You want space in the show so your feet can breath, if it is to tight you feet will freeze, and yes you need wool socks with 600gram boots, especially if your sitting all day, at least I know I do. Nothing sucks more then wet/cold feet

You'll be really sorry if you buy boots too tight. You have to have plenty of room for heavier sock and to allow you to move your foot/toes a little bit. If they're too tight sitting in a store, they'll be colder than hell on a cold day. I don't care how much insulation they have. You have to have room to move your toes.

Go buy the heavy socks, put them on, THEN go try the boots out.
