The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's
May 4, 2009
They are true to size, however the general recommendation when hiking is to wear a half size bigger. Otherwise, if you're descending and wearing a thicker sock, you risk an injury to the toes

Polar RS200 Heart Rate Monitor
May 4, 2009
Thanks James. Upon closer look I noticed that on the transmitter is states that you can use it up to 30m. However, it's really hard to use it in the water because as you swim, water will run between the belt and your body and the transmitter will lose contact. Maybe if I'm weartin a vest over.

Does this work in the pool? I know that the watch is water resistent, but I wonder if the transmiter is also safe if worn when swimming.
