text: This review is for sizing help.  I liked the style and construction of the shoe but had to return for a fit issue.  I wear a 9.5 and have wide feet.  If no wide width is available I usually order up to a 10M but got the 9.5 M in these due to the recommendation of Amazons new sizing wizard.  I won't say the wizard is wrong  These do seem to run large in length as well as width.  However, even though these felt wider than a medium shoe one of the stripes on the side rubbed against my pinky toe.  Had the entire upper been mesh it wouldn't have been an issue.  Since these are hiking shoes,  I know if I notice it right away when I put them on it will be a blister later.  As far as the length, they were longer than a typical 9.5 medium.  The heel and arch area are narrow, which I liked, so I don't think this would have been an issue for me.  Good padding, good arch support.  The size tag in the shoe says US 9.5 UK 8 EU 42.  Depending on what size chart you consult a 42 would usu equate to US women's size 10.5 or 11.  I don't think the sizing was that way off, but I would say these are a solid 1/2 size bigger.
