For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

I had the older version of mutants and loved them! These are also great just the terrible sizing which unfortunately never worked out. I needed a size 9US but the 9 was too small and 9.5 was enormous! So bummed and my toes are debummed from the jamming on the down, esp.
I purchased these in fall 2024 for fall trail running and hiking. These shoes are light weight comfortable and stable. Great for trail, hiking or daily use if you need more grip for dirt, gravel or Even light compact snow. These are more go to show now
How do these not have more amazing reviews? I just bought my 5th pair of these since discovering them a decade ago. They are a great athletic/hiking/running shoe. I have a sensitive big toe joint and these are a winner.
This went right back in the return box. They did not fit me well, the laces were hard to adjust, and the lip came really high on the ankle. They looked more aquatic than mountain shoes.
