Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support
This is not a hiking boot - This is a mountaineering boot. I've used them for about six months now in snow, ice, and rock. The soles are extremely stiff. It took my heels a month or two to get used to the stiffness. Great for edging and front pointing, bad for long distance hiking in warm weather as the insulation works almost too well. If you try to use it with warmer temperatures, your feet will get too hot and moisture will build up. On the plus side, they are outstanding in snow and ice. My feet have never been cold in them. Also, they are completely waterproof. No outside moisture ever felt, even after slogging through spring snow all day. The rubber rand extends nearly around the boot and is pretty sticky. This combined with the very stiff sole makes them perform better than I thought they would on rock. They do require a good break-in time. The leather is thick and stiff at first. There is minimal padding on the heel, while there is extra padding across the instep for lacing up tight. The insoles are adequate, but I replaced mine w/ superfeet and they fit great. Finally, they seem slightly oversized. I ordered a 10.5 and they are a little roomy- probably for heavier socks- but the boots are so warm you won't need the heavy duty socks. All in all, very capable and durable boots. I would have given them five stars if they had a little easier break-in period.
