FYI go to a local place and try on a few pair to get the width of your foot right. They tend to fit just right length wise. The most common width for a foot is "D"
Man, that site has some great looking boots!!

I am all about comfort! What is the most comfortable shoe out there that is appropriate for us pilots at work?

They feel good, have no laces, last longer than shoes, waterproof, and look sharp. My pair of deerskinboots I'm wearing now are eight years old and that's doing everything from deer hunting to working on the ranch. Dress boots are classy.

The only boot worth wearing is a nice steel-toed work boot. I wish I could get those bad boys through security.
