Durango Men's Arena Pro Western Boots, Full-Grain Leather, Square Toe, DDB0255

I'm at the barn for hours and ride for hours on end. I need a boot to hold up to all of the elements, so I'll update further down the line. Size: I tried a Lady Rebel Pro in a size 7B. It's a different shoe last than the Arena Pro, so I should have guessed the fit would be different. It was too big! In Ariat's Round Up Wide Toe boot, I wear a 6.5B with room to spare. For the Durango Arena Pro Women's, the 6.5 really pinches my big toe in each boot. I've had to stretch them with wooden shoe inserts, Jojoba oil, and a blowdryer at night after I had worn them all day with two pairs of socks (Ariat tall boot socks and gym socks). The second day they feel much better, but I'm still going to stretch the every night in the same way. For reference, I normally wear a size 7-7.5B in shoes/boots/sneakers. In Ariats I'm a 7B in their paddock boot. First impressions of this boot is that it's gorgeous. I love the traditional stacked heel and welting. The inner sole is cushioned and supportive. I don't feel too much in my arch, which is low-to average.

I received these boots today and was excited based on what product is supposed to like according to the picture. I was expecting a chestnut brown boot with some luster. Instead I received a dull brown boot with scuff marks.
