I absolutely love the look, fit, and feel of these boots. The fit is pretty true to size. I'm an 11D on a Brannock Device and that's what I went with on these. They might run a shade long, but the fit everywhere else is spot on with no slop. Like any leather boot, they are snug at first and you might be temped to think you went too small, but then you wear them a couple times, they break in, and they feel great. I did have a small problem with mine, potentially even self-inflicted. However, it was taken care of right away with no questions asked.

This is my third pair of Helm boots and I can’t say enough good about them. They break in quickly and look phenomenal. I have owned boots in the past that I could only wear for a couple of hours before my feet started hurting, but with my Helms, I can comfortably wear them all day and not worry about that. They look great dressed up or down. I have gotten several compliments on them too and am happy to show them off and brag about the quality. Let me just also say a word about customer service. Theirs is some of the best I’ve encountered. This latest pair went missing during delivery and when I reached out to the company, they responded within HOURS, not days. That is almost unheard of today, but greatly appreciated. They immediately submitted a search to the USPS and when they weren’t located sent me another pair two day delivery through another carrier. You have a customer for life based not just on your quality boots, but also outstanding customer service. Thank you!
I was so looking forward to these boots but there they sit waiting to be worn. The boots are gorgeous but even with thin socks I could barely get them on and once I did they were so uncomfortable. They are too tight in the width and extremely stiff. I am a women’s size 9 and bought a 7.5 based on Helm’s recommendation of going down a size and a half. I will have to bring them somewhere to be stretched—then I can begin the break in period.
The boots are super nice, amazing leather, insole is very comfortable. Unfortunately I kind of ended up with the wrong size and now that I've worn them, I guess I'm stuck with. The 9 was far too big, exchanged for an 8 based on your customer service and probably should have exchanged again for 8 1/2. Hopefully they will wear in to a better fit.
