I love the boots nice but not perfect

The actual size is very small. I first Gr me. 44 ordered and was far too small (eg Deichmann Graceland Gr. 44 fits perfectly, just to compare :)) and got me then again in Gr. Can get 45, the gu fits t but toes are up front. The shoe is well made and the leather nice. What bothers me that the inside of the very wide shaft is wrapped with bright leather which of course looks that really does not fit with such a dark shoe. The Scahft could be a less close.
