I SOMETIMES NEED SHOES FOR TRIPS WE TAKE OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY ON SOME ROUGH AND HILLY TERRAINS .  I DIDN'T USE THEM YET BUT HAD INITIALLY BOUGHT THE SIZE 9 BECAUSE REVIEWS INDICATED THAT THEY RAN WIDE. I DIDN'T FIND IT WIDE ENOUGH OR BIG ENOUGH AND SHOE WAS RUBBING MY ANKLE BONE SO REORDERED IN SIZE 9 1/2.  I DON'T HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS NOW BUT I DID HAVE TO LOOSEN THE LACES.  THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE , I THINK THEY'LL WORK FOR ME, THEY LOOK NICE IN THE CACTUS FLOWER COLOR  AND I LOOK FORWARD TO USING THEM ON MY NEXT TRIP.
