Would like to know if you have a 1/2 size smaller order a nine feel that 8 1/2 would fit better what can I do

So comfortable! I spend 6-7 hours (or more) a day on my feet and these are a game-changer. When I get home, I have no incentive to change into my slippers because these are so comfy - feels like they cuddle my feet.

Sizing: it's said that they fit small, so I ordered my normal size and a size up. Kept the normal size - still ok with thick winter socks.

Waterproofness: Haven't tried submersing them, but fine in wet grass.

Gripes: The laces. Very "slippy". Need to do very secure knots (I do a double overhand + double bow) or they just fall undone.

I initially over looked these because they were a synthetic upper but was then tempted to try them during a sale and within the first week of use decided they are hands down the best pair of boots I have ever owned.They are so comfortable, super tough and waterproof.Very impressed and completely pleased with my purchase some months later so much so that I find myself contemplating a second purchase just incase they are not available in the future.

For over a year now I have used them to do my daily walk, consisting of grassland, cycle track and a canal path. I found them comfortable from day one. My previous walking boots were alot more rigid, thick soles memory foam under and around the foot, essentially I felt nothing and found myself starting to trip and slip more than usual and back pain started to develop. With the sensations restored to my feet I rarely slip or trip, walk further without back pain. I always wear wool rich walking socks summer or winter and my feet have always been comfortable, warm in the winter and not sweaty in the summer. The synthetic microfiber material used sheds dirt much better than leather and mud rinses off very easily. Now the negatives. 1. The laces are threaded through hoops formed from the same material as the upper, this makes them very difficult to remove and re-install, which I like to do occasionally to give the tongue area a thorough clean and reproof. 2. The main gripe I have is the design of the tongue. It uses the same material as the outer, quite inflexible which means it does not fold neatly and closely. This means either side of the tongue are two channels which on several occasions when walking through very wet grass or terrain, if not careful water splashed, is then guided to the top area of the tongue and to the sock resulting in wet ankles. This even happens wearing gaters. Overall though at this price point I would recommend them and perform better or as well as other options in the barefoot world.

Ive had mine for 2.5 years. I wore them A LOT. So comfortable, like moccasins. Wore them during many miles of hiking through mud, over lots of rocks, in all seasons. So grippy and even now the tread is barely worn. Only thing is now the trim is coming away at the toe on one foot, and I think this is the reason they are no longer waterproof. Would definitely buy again.
