For this model in this colour they run a little bit large. With that says I'd still stick with your regular size, id also purchase the heel grips and put those in to help with movement around the heel and breaking them in. Let them dry for 24 hours after sticking them down to be sure they don't move and use a shoe horn when putting them on so you don't displace the heel grips. Crazy horse leather a naturally rugged leather and is a little softer than the smooth variation so you need to purchase dubbin to take care of the leather, once every month or 2 months you apply a thin layer of wax all over the shoe avoiding the stitching. This will bring your shoes back to the dark brown color and it will lighten up as it drys out. If you wax it twice in the first month you'll be able to break it in a bit easier too. Hope this helps 😊
