[QUOTE="Deleted member 67185, post: 706580"] RJM and Kiwi's post are exactly why the commonly 'understood' mythology of buying a shoe size one or two sizes larger than one's regular shoe is bad advice. Let me explain. Rule number one for buying outdoor footwear for backpacking, hiking, trekking, Camino, etc. is: [B]You do not choose a shoe based on measurements, you buy a shoe based on its Fit N Feel [I]regardless[/I] of instrument measurements.[/B] When following that rule, one [B]can [/B]end up with a bigger shoe size -- width and length -- than one's normal shoe size, but that is not always the case. Just assuming one will get a good fit by simply buying footwear a size or two to one's regular shoe size can result in discomfort, injury, blisters, etc. RJM is correct when saying that one cannot know for sure how a shoe/boot feels under real world use until one uses them under real world conditions. And there are ways to shop for footwear that will greatly enhance the rate of performance success in the real world. :-) [/QUOTE]
