I searched for hours for a good hiking shoe for my husband and came across these. Hubby normally wears a 10.5, but I ordered an 11 to account for thick socks. HE LOVES THESE SHOES! He's told me on numerous occasions that these are the best shoes he's ever owned.  He's always hiking or hunting so he's totally pleased with the results. I'm glad because I wasn't looking forward to finding a different pair :) Happy hiking!
