I say they are tight because even though I ordered size 14s still a tiny bit of a squeeze. Once you get them on however you'll be rocking pretty well. The chains give you that wild west feel and the darkness of the boots gives you the goth crossover. Plan on giving it red shoe laces because despite the the buckles and chains its just a tiny bit bland but the style is right and for the black friday deal so was the price. This review made by a more heavy set male results are probably better for those with a bit less weight.
