    I now believe that 9.5E is great for snug fit and works perfectly for pull on boots but prefer 9.5EE on lace ups to get more flexibility.

    I got my Riverfronts from the ready to ship section of Nick's Boots. I knew they would be perfect for me since it's mostly hot around me. I took them everywhere with me, Japan, Salt Lake City, to the racetrack, out on town, to the local park etc. Mostly walked in these and I'm happy with how they're holding up.

    Leather

    Durability

    This leather can take a beating, I had a lot of scratches and patina that came right out when I brushed and conditioned them about halfway through this dome. Overall they held up and didn't drastically change but are looking very nice. I often get compliments for them.

    Satisfied with the Fit

    I confirmed with these pairs that 9.5E is a good Nick's size for me. I can get tight spots on my left foot but overall they fit just right. No issues for me.

    I'm bummed that Nick's has since retired the riverfront pattern. I think it's a great boot shoe that shines with casual outfits. It's built tough and can handle the beating of everyday life, I don't worry about scuffing or messing them up at all.

    Sole & heel

    Traction
    Comfort
    Durability

    I walked all over with these wedges. They're my first wedge sole and I grew to like them more than I thought I would. After 6 months I have a lot more tread to go so I'm happy with them.

    Final thoughts

    I'm glad I chose a easy to put on and take off boot. It's been super easy to reach for these when I'm in a rush, which made my first dome a breeze. They held up throughout and I can't wait to wear them during summer months.
