I have relatively narrow feet so I have to order 5-6 pairs of boots to find a good fit. I also use custom orthotics to prevent plantar fasciitis. Merrells fit the bill regarding fit. I have taken walks up to 3 hours in them with no blisters and good comfort. I am hoping they will be just as reliable for longer, more strenuous hikes.
