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.

Great shoe. Sturdy, stable, nice cushion and not tippy. Grabbed them on sale at the beginning of fall and been hiking/running with them a few times. Went with a 41.5, which matches with a 9.5+ on the size chart. I’m usually a 9.5 and they’re perfect. Ready to go out the box on a 15 mile hike, no breaking in, no blisters. Got them soggy and they dry out quickly. Could see them getting a little warm in the summer but that’s a problem for future me
Love the fit of these shoes. Comfortable right out of the box. I have narrow to normal width feet with a narrow heel. Ive always loved the fit of la sportiva shoes. This shoe actually as a bit of an arch to them and I can wear them without my orthodics.
The shoe is made extremely well and is great for walking and running; however, it runs about one size small. I ordered my regular size and my toes were sore after walking Because they run small
Happy with these shoes. Very comfortable. Good arch support.
