I have owned Baretraps for years and needed to replace a pair that is worn out. They no longer make my favorite style so I tried these. Ive always purchased a 7.5 to give room for thick socks but these fit like an 8-8.5. The shaft was several inches taller and cut right at my knee bend making them uncomfortable to wear, and the foot portion was tight across the top but loose in width and length. Overall a terrible fit. I returned them.
