[QUOTE="LTfit, post: 94597, member: 8594"] You just may be right Jill. I have had 4 different Merrills (yep 4!). The first half of the Francés I had a pair that were indeed too small so sent them home and bought 1 size larger in the Corte Inglés in León. As they were actually too big (no 1/2 size available) so I bought a liner which I had not used up to that point. My feet at this time were already in bad shape and in the end I am not sure that it made much difference. Determined to do beter the second time around I bought what I thought was a "proper" fitting Merrill with Goretex. These were really warm for summer walking so I bought ANOTHER pair before leaving without Gortex...this time I did try vaseline without avail. I have always walked in the heat of the summer (35-40 C along the Via de la Plata) and so my feet do swell quite a bit. This makes it difficult getting the right size beforehand. In fact when I returned home and went out for I walk I thought that my feet must of shrunk! Salomon are on sale here, maybe try those! [/QUOTE]
