Eight days of ownership, and five days of wear. Still brushing daily. Debating on treating these with Huberd's shoe grease. They are breaking in well. The uppers are starting to crease and fold from walking, and the leather is becoming more supple in general. I switched to leather laces. Usually, I like the factory Jim Green laces, but I found that the ones that came on these loosened up easily. I've also been experimenting with insoles. Not sure what I prefer right now. Regardless of what insole is in there, these are very comfortable boots.

I feel that it fits true to size. Plenty of width in the toe box. Feels slightly long, but I think that's more of an illusion than reality.

I'm a big fan of Jim Green boots, and I thought the true moccasin construction was very unique considering the price.
Jim Green states that their boots run true to size. My other pairs are 9.5, so that's what I went with. The fit is great for my feet.
I ordered direct from Jim Green. Ordering was smooth and unremarkable in the best way possible.
