It is not easy to find me wide fitting hiking boots.  Often, when I try the boots even in the store I do not feel the pinching right away.  (I have decided long ago that buying shoes on line is also taking a chance.  I am careful about the return / exchange policy).  Now,  I have worn these boots many times.  They fit great, perfectly waterproof, light, insole can be removed and washed.  Price very reasonable.  The size numbering is accurate, the same as my other shoes or boots.  Recommended.
