Made the right decision
Fantastic boots, fit like a glove, and sales person who helped me was just as amazing. The boots felt great the second I put them on, and the leather. . . the leather is beautiful. I was on the fence about buying them, but the moment my feet had them on and went out and about I knew that I made the correct decision.

A new world of boots
My foray into boots prior to this pair was Jim Greens exclusively. I had thought dressy/classier boots such as these were just not in the cards for a guy with EEE width feet. Not so. Getting these boots was an eye opener. They fit better than any boot I have ever owned, and the quality is just superb in every facet. Even with the EEE width they still look sleek, and I have a hard time not wearing them all the time. If I had any gripes it would be that they also size up the quarters alot on their wider sizes, so the I was swimming in the exfess volume, my quarters were touching when laced. However, a Nick's Delta Arch and a Jim Green kiltie solved this no problem. All in all, these boots were an epiphany. And while I'll always love and cherish my Jim Greens, with these Diesels I feel like I've graduates from boot high school into boot college!

It's already been a month since I received my Diesel's in Dark Olive. They're just gorgeous, with those shades of green in the Brown Chromexel, just like a ripening olive. I love that these boots are elegant and dressy, but also sturdy, with the heavy lug outsole. They are comfortable out of the box, and just become more comfortable with use. These boots are heavy. I haven't tried them on the trail yet, but they are great for strolling on rough, dusty streets.
