These Double H men's Harness boots are a good alternative for women who can't wear the women's version b/c they run too narrow. I wear women's 8.5 to 9, and found the men's size 7 fit pretty well, I had to stretch out the sides where my toes are a bit, but once broken in, they fit fine. These have a wonderful cushy support in the foot, it's so awesome! The rubber is nice and thick on the soles, with good traction. They are a bit heavy, but really nice in colder weather, I found I could wear these in winter if it was not too freezing cold out. I like the narrower shaft how it hugs the leg and not too wide in the calf, and the 12" shaft height. Hope Double H brings back the brown and black harness boots for sale in men's and women's, and make them available for purchase again. These can't be beat for quality, style and comfort. They are much more comfortable than other popular brands of harness boots available today.
