text: I really wanted these shoes for hiking.  However, they run large.  My normal 7.5 (even in this brand) was too large, size 7 too large, size 6.5 too short.  My feet are on the narrow side and my middle toes are longer than my big toe so the 6.5 was just too short.  I have worn this brand before though and they were great and lasted many years.
