I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered down a half size in these boots, but they're still too big. For reference, I wear a 9.5 in the Sketchers tennis shoes I have, I ordered these in a 9--should have gotten an 8.5. I have about two inches of space from the tip of my big toe to the tip of the boot. Also, the toe bed is huge! I have average width feet and these feel like clown shoes. They also came with a three inch black scuff on the leather, but that didn't really bother me since they're for hiking anyway. Unfortunately, the box got mangled at my house and I'm stuck with these boots, but for the price, it's not so bad. I'll just pass them along to someone else. Other than the size issue and the scuff, they are pretty nice for a hiker at this price. The ankles and soles are very stiff though, I expects they will loosen after a few wears. Decent tread and craftsmanship. I would just suggest these for women with wide feet and to get a whole size down.
