text: Well.  A positive but ambivalent review of the Braddock.  I took the advice of many reviewers and ordered a half-size bigger than I typically wear and that advice is very good... but... when I buy Ecco or Reboks I'm a 42 euro/8.5 US, but for Nike and New Balance I order a 9US.  I took a guess and ordered the Braddock in US 9EE (wide).  Perfect length and width.  How much you should up-size depends on what your *actual* size is.  I know that's not much help.<br /><br />That said, there's something about the way the arch support extends all the way to the outside edge of the footbed.  If I'm walking or working it's not a problem but if I'm standing in one place for more than 30 minutes it become excruciatingly painful.  I'm not sure if this will improve with time but it was something I didn't expect based on the initial fit of the boot.  The Braddocks are waterproof.  They don't let much moisture out, either :(  They're dryer (and lighter) than my Redwing Worx boots but not as comfortable as the Worx.<br /><br />I spend 12 hours or more in work boots/shoes so they have to fit perfectly.  The Braddock is soooo almost there, but the arch issue may result in them being returned.
