Sizing Notes
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.

Comfortable, light and waterproof

I've had two pairs of these now and like them. I have a narrow and flat foot and these fit well. These run a little small. I walked the Fisherman's Trail in Portugal in them. It was half rocky and half sand dunes. I bought some trail running gaiters and never had an issue with stuff getting in the shoes. I will buy a third pair.

5 stars shoes that run Really Small! I'm 10.5 in virtually every brand. The 10.5s in this specific shoe fit like rock climbing shoes. I ordered the 11.5 and they fit Perfect. If the sizing was correct, I would give a 5 star review.

Fits slightly narrower than the Bushido II but a great shoe. Fully waterproof. I have a narrower foot/ heel and these fit great. Have multiple Bushido shoes over the years and will continue to purchase as I wear out old pairs.

GTX Wide seems wider than Non-GTX Wide

Really liked the non-GTX in 44 Wide and also bought the GTX version. I went with the regular width in GTX because the GTX version felt too wide.
