I wear a 5.5 shoe, but in these i ordered a size 5. I had a feeling they were going to be bigger based on some of the reviews. I received them today, and yep, they are too big, even with the size 5 i ordered. I would need a 4.5 to get the right fit. I even put on thick hiking socks to try and get a better fit and very loose fitting.<br />IM going hiking in the G.canyons and need a shoe that will fit securely on my foot, that will give me the right traction for hiking, climbing, etc.<br />Other than that, I really love the look.
