I love the look of these boots but I ordered a half size up based on recommendations and they still felt small and way too narrow. I don't wear wide width shoes ever and these felt so tight and narrow. Sadly will be returning.°My previous boot was the Danner Mountain 600 and I will be going back to that.

Just got these last week and figured I'd break them in for an upcoming trip. Well, what do you know? No break in required! Comfortable and cozy from the moment I put them on with a pair of my favorite wool hiking socks! They hug my feet like I've wrapped them in a warm blanket. No heel slippage at all. Not too tight. Not too loose. Perfect fit for me! Cannot wait to hit the first trail! At 72, the Diane · peterglenn.com
