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.

Waterproof, lightweight, comfy, wide sizing
9 months ago
Love love love this hiking shoe! Have had traditional Vasque/Asolo hiking boots for decades, but decided to try the lighter weight shoes- so much more comfortable. Hiked Swiss Alps and Cinque Terre in Italy last summer and they were perfect. One of the few gore-tex hiking shoes that come in a wide size, which made all the difference for me. Fully waterproof- just walked through pouring rain and puddles and socks completely dry. Highly recommend.

Too small, tongue compresses foot
9 months ago
At least 1 - 1.5 sizes too small. I usually wear 10.5 in street shoes, but 11.5 still gives me pinch points. Size 12 will be too long. The tongue also gets in the way and compresses top of foot, I have to keep tugging it back up to release the compression below. The tread pattern has weird deep grooves and creased over 'pockets' of rubber that collect tiny rocks. This pair is going back.

awesome so far
4 months ago
 I purchased these in January and, so far, early morning walks and trail runs on wet and muddy surfaces have revealed no leaks. Prior versions of the shoe worked great for a month or so, but then the waterproofing failed. So far THIS shoe is different. It is also comfortable and durable.

Ok, not great

I have owned several Ultra Raptor shoes, the non-wp version. Not sure why they were discontinued, but they were. Thought I'd try this version. They are ok, but not as good as the original. Would *not* buy these again.
