text: Fit: As others have stated, ordering a size bigger is a good idea<br />Feel: This is not a very good boot at all. The rubber on the sole is so soft you can feel everything, every little rock or piece of gravel on the trail. Even when walking on pavement it will eventually hurt your foot.<br />Culprit: Very soft rubber on the boot. If you poke the sole of the boot firmly with your finger you can feel how soft it is. You can give yourself a foot massage while wearing these boots, it's ridiculous. I never expected to have to do that test on a boot from Amazon, so I tried them on and they fit and only about a month later did I take them hiking, and now I think it's too late to return them. Never buying this brand again. My previous boots were Timberland and those were good, but I wanted something more aggressive looking and got sucked in by the price. If you buy them, try the massage test or step on a large pebble and you will feel how soft the rubber is.
