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.

I have been an enthusiastic stroller , ambler & hiker I am recovering from a serious foot problem delayed and hindered by Covid restrictions delaying corrective surgery.I've only started walking without crutches and a surgical boot . I needed reliable and comfortable shoes that were strong supportive and extremely light. I got them with these shoes even though I favoured the swoosh or 3 stripes in P J · thenorthface.co.uk
