BOOTS - aka - Slipper for the Climbing Princess\'s
Hello - I DID IT - my Merrills are about shot, yet so comfortable and form fitted to my feet, but still shot - NOT yet falling apart, but worn.
SO - it was off to REI to see what they had in the way of hikers.
I had spotted some Keens and talked to the hiker DUDE at the AT store on Blood Mountain and he recommended those, then I talked to the REI hiker DUDE and he did not recommend.. SO thinking - I spotted a pair of Asolo, I try on two different styles, walked about the store for 30-45 minutes with one shoe from each style on, shopping and building a wish list of gear and walked out with the Asolo Fugitives and tree pair of Smartwool socks.
BUT here is my question, I found that the lady's boots were to narrow - i wear a 10D womens and the just did not fit. SO I ended up with a 9.5 narrow cut and they fit well. (most of my everyday shoes are mens)
So - do you find women's cut boot or a men's cut boot better fitting?
