I have been very surprised. This shoe not only looks exactly as in the photo, but also the value for money is more than expected in line. The food is enjoyable, keeps super warm and the sole has nubs still down, probably because of the smoothness in the winter! The transition between the shoe and the shaft is not tight, pressed nich and is not hard. He is super comfortable and was the next morning at 8am there (Amazon Prime). Definitely recommend to others, but ordered one size larger, then you still have room for a pair of thick socks, but even without this the shoe fits and you have very good grip. Have actually Gr. 36, 37 have ordered and yes, fits perfectly with or without thick socks.
