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.

So cute, but such a disappointment. The Prodigo runners are my favorite hikers. I was so excited to see that they made them in this waterproof boot style for a trip Iceland. They do not fit anything like the runners. The toe is weirdly turned up and super uncomfortable. The elastic around the ankle dug into me and cut me through my socks. Sadly I had to return them.
I had to return the first pair and order a different size, but these were too wide. I tried several inserts and orthotics, but nothing helped. I really wanted to keep them—they’re lightweight and comfortable otherwise. I wish they’d bring back the Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Hiking Boots (the non-leather version)—I’d stock up on several pairs if they did!
Even after ordering a half size up these still don't fit. The toes are narrow the mesh makes the whole shoe tighter.
