I always read reviews first and go with the recommended ‘true to size, runs small’ etc… So I bought size 5 (my normal size) after this recommendation, plus other reviews. I have small size 5, narrow feet, and I’ve had to return the size 5! With how small they felt I went a full size bigger and went for a size 6, which I can now say are absolutely perfect. They are ridiculously comfy for walking boots, and they have a nice spring to them. Material is super cushioned and huggable around the ankles. I’ve not worn in torrential rain yet but for now they are watertight through wet grass & rain. And great for hiking unsteady rock surfaces. Really happy with purchase now that I have a correct size. I will say, I’m surprised not many other people have mentioned the sizing, as sizing up is not something I’ve had to do before. And I wouldn’t have been getting out my front door in my actual size as they were incredibly small and immediately hurt my toes. Width wise they are fine. These are now my favourite walking boots.
