So far I'm really pleased with my Hi-Tec Hiking boots. They fit very comfortably and they are the size I normally buy, which is a half size larger than my shoe size. I do that because in sneakers and hiking boots I like the extra toe length room for long walks. I also have bunions and usually buy width D in a sneaker for that reason but in this case the Hi-Tec's fit just fine with no rubbing on the bunion area. When I first put them on, not being used to high tops, I thought the top of the ankle area was a bit stiff but they didn't chafe when I went for a walk with them. After wearing them for a couple of days, I don't even notice the ankle top anymore and I'm finding them very comfortable. Can't wait for the weather to get a bit milder so I can take a nice long hike. I have walked a couple of miles in them at one time and they were great, even in rainy, muddy weather. Very happy with them.
