“This is my second review. I usu wear size 6, so I ordered a 7. Much like others’ reviews, the toe box is tight. I wanted to be able to wear Merino wool/ Smartwool socks. As a runner, I always want more toe box room to allow for swelling and many miles w/o injury to toes. I exchanged for 7.5 (which was SUPER easy and hassle-free), and they’re perfect. The leather is comfortable right out of the box. Although I ordered 7.5, the arch still hits perfectly. Very impressed w this company, and look fwd to taking the boots to Italy.”
