They're wide-fitting usually and the calf leather uppers will give a bit. The thick leather soles are also very stiff at first which gives the feeling of snugness for some reason. Once the shoes/boots soften up all over the feel considerably bigger. My advice would be to get them as snug as you can, without them feeling uncomfortable and making sure the length is right. The width and overall fit will give and accommodate your foot over time. Both feet, that is.
