How do these fit (size wise) compared to the Vasque Breezes? Also, are they breathable? Iknow it says "breathable, and waterproof", but I've gone through more pairs of boots than any 2 normal people, and more than any 'hiker'/'mountaineer' that I know, and there's no such thing as both. They are either waterproof, or breathable. I'm in Afghanistan, so playing the return game is not really an option. Please help.

I am not sure compared to the vasque breezes but I have owned 3 pairs of montrails and they are always true to size. One thing you have to remember is that breathable is a relative term. If it is 100 degrees outside your feet will sweat with sandals. Many materials are breathable but your feet will still sweat on hot days. There is nothing on the market and never will be that is completely waterproof and perfectly breathable on hot days. You can minimize your sweating by choosing the right shoe and maybe even more importantly, the right sock.
