I wore my new 403 4” Oxford boots today and can’t say enough about these shoes!  I was initially excited by the look..their classic style, the detailed stiching and the Honey color but was won over entirely when they were as comfortable after 8 hours of wearing them as when I first put them on. They needed no breaking in and were true to size, accomodating both regular socks and even heavy wool socks. Even though they felt a little heavy when I took them out of the box-no doubt due to the quality construction-I was delighted to find that they were light and comfortable even after a full day of wearing them. The sole was extremely flexible and the inside gave my heel great support! The heavy laces and metal reinforced lace eyelets just added to the amazing quality of this shoe.  I wanted them for casual rather than work and was glad there was a non-steel toe option. I have bought many shoes and boots but this shoe is without a doubt one of the best buys I ever made. Though they are work boots, I plan on wearing them for causal as well as when I’m doing chores becasue they look great with jeans and cargo pants, but I also will be using them for hiking-they are that rugged and that comfortable!! Over all, one of the best shoes I have ever worn!. I think I see a black pair in my future! My hats off to you on a superior, stylish, quality piece of footwear!!!
