I love these shoes. I had to go half a size up, typically I wear a 6.5 and had to get these in a 7. I probably could have gone even a full size, depends on the
socks and type of
hiking you are doing. Since I'm using these for light
hiking in hotter weather, I am wearing thin wicking
socks which works great with them. The toe box is not small, but it does kind of square off, so if your toes are of different lengths, which mine are, it does hit one weirdly sometimes. Overall, I love these shoes and they have come in handy for zip lining, horse back riding,
hiking and volcano trail walking.
