+1 on the Sidi brand running a little on the narrow side. (At least my On-Roads do)
Yep,.. I tried a couple of pairs on too. I found them tight,.. in the calf a little too. Ok if you have no muscle or fat,... not as good if you have a lot of either or both.

Also,.. what r_outsider didn't mention is that he has a pair of "forced entry" swat boots, from a military surplus store. Cost about $100. (see R? I remembered,.. I'm not calling them "fourth century" boots anymore.
