text: Loved these shoes, had to return this paid because they were too large. I normally wear a size 8.5, and I consider my feet to be somewhat wide. However I had to go with a size smaller (8) and still wear good socks, which was surprising.<br /><br />Review of the correctly sized boots:<br /><br />OMG, AMAZING! I purchased these boots for a summertime two-week hiking trip in Iceland. My husband also got these in men's. We wanted something waterproof and with good support for day-long hikes. This was a great choice. Hiked many miles on many terrains in these boots. Temps were about 48-65 F, and I wore Super-wool Hiker GX Merino Wool Hiking Socks with them. Disclaimer, a few times when crossing streams and water came up above the laces water got into them, but that is as expected, and otherwise we found them to keep our feet dry and supported.<br /><br />I also think these shoes are really cute aesthetically. Would recommend and would definitely buy again.
