Darn they are big...........but they are the correct size.
Tan makes these size 14 boots look monsterous. But they fit fine. It took less than a day to break them in and I wear them to work already. They are for my motorcycling in the Patriot Guard and the American Legion Riders and will be day to day wearers if it isn't raining...I don't want to get the suede look dirty. This is my third pair. Others have been black.

Pretty good but it could be better, based on my experience so far
Let me start off by saying that this is a great product, but there are some minor issues that need to be fixed before I can confidently give it a 5/5, based on my experience. Others may differ, and that's alright.
When I first got the product I was excited, I immediately tried them on and they felt wonderful. Lightweight and soft, yet firm, contact to the ground with each step, a slight squeak here and there but I put into consideration that it was brand new after all so no complaints there.
As the days went on I noticed that there was this annoying bump in the inner-middle side of the tongue, which would be located around the inner ankle. It turns out it was the stitching of the material that caused this uncomfortable lump. I seem to have gotten used to this issue for the most part and when the issue resurfaces, it can be solved by simply shifting the tongue towards your outer side. (My friend tried it on and had no problems with the stitching, it could just be me).
I also noticed that there are some threads that stick out which may cause it to look as if it was coming undone, but that's not the case, just something that may bother some. The quality of the boots are pretty good, but the consistency seems to be somewhat noticeable. After a week of wear, the tread on the front-center part of my boot seems to be coming apart, notably along the tread zigzag design, and therefore causes this irritable squeaking no matter what surface I walk on. The tread on my right boot is fine and still in one piece, not so much as a tear.
I really love the zipper on the side of the boot though, it is absolutely wonderful and really makes taking off and on the boots really easy. The boots are comfy, and as they advertise, very light. You could wear the 9" boots and still look like you're wearing normal shoes if your pants covers them.
The boots pretty much what the company advertises, the only word of warning is that you shouldn't expect them to be perfect in every way shape or form, and that they may not hold out in terms of endurance as long as you'd hope them to.

Best boots ever made!
Great service and boots from SWAT tactical. I have a pair that I bought four years ago and worn them every day. The only reason I bought a new pair was I simply wanted a new set for my job in the Canadian army.

Perfection in a Boot.
Not only are my boots my every day footwear they do go through a bit of abuse playing airsoft. I wear these things whenever I go out and they are the most comfortable most durrable boots I have owned. Personally if these continue to meet my expectations they will be the only boot I buy in the future.
