Out of the box there was no break in required. I've purchased a few other leather boots like this int he past and the break in period is exhausting. I have a medium volume foot, wider heel and normal arch. Typically i cant fit into leather boots well, these have more room in them and are perfect. Im guessing they will stretch as well, the leather is very soft. They feel great, they fit perfect and I ended up getting two pair, one of each color to see what color I liked best. I ended up keeping both. Great looking boot I can dress up or down. I've wanted to buy these for a while now and have just been waiting, I should not have waited this long. Highly recommended.

Excellent boots. The leather is really good and after just a few hours they are already broken in. Sizing is spot on too. Made In Canada and can be resoled. Way better than Blundstone.

Absolutely fantastic. Blows my Blundstones right out of the water. Amazing quality, fit, style, and they can be resoled. The real kicker is how comfortable they are right out of the box. I wish I'd had gotten the darker color, but it was sold out in my size by the time I found out about these. I'm still fortunate to have gotten some in my size even if it they weren't my first color choice.

I was excited to see the return of this boot. I had a pair when they were made in Africa and it was my favorite boot hands down. The boot by the new company in Canada is very well made and has a few changes. Most notably the thick sole, which aesthetically for me isn't as nice, but for the life span of the boot is a plus. The cut is slightly different also, this boot seems a little more loose around the ankle, and the overall height of the boot is a bit shorter. The boot overall is very comfortable and falls between a traditional work boot and a sneaker. It is a great all around boot, reasonably priced and high quality. I will probably wear these out just like my last pair.

I love my Oliberte boots!

I also own Blundstone but figured I would try Oliberte Robson, was pleasantly surprised to see these boots are better made and can be resolved. Very high quality and very comfortable.
