excellent shoes...

My local outdoor store was out of my size but highly recommended montrail shoes. I am soo satisfied! 5 hours on the trail proved the shoes have excellent support, stability, and placement on most any terrain. The mesh breathes very well too, and the shock absorption is fantastic.
On suggestion (locally and online) I ordered a 1/2 size larger than my usual 8, and after breaking them in (quite thoroughly!) wished I'd gone with the usual. As a result of the extra room, my ankle bone has a tendency to rub and bruise against the upper rim of the shoe, but as I've broken them in and adjusted the laces a bit, the fit has improved vastly.
Love the shoe, just wish I hadn't been sooo excited to try them outside so I could've exchanged.

Note to buyer: The company was taken over by columbia, and product lines 'revamped'...apparently the new columbia montrails are quite inferior. Something worth checking, if you've bothered to read reviews in the 1st place.
Info came per my local store...I followed up with this link
and this one .
I still love my new shoes:)
