Too wide for my feet

By Backcountry.com Employee September 26, 2008

Of course width never came to mind while I was trying these shoes on. And because I'm totally impulsive, I purchased them and now I partially regret it. I love that they're waterproof (Gore-tex liner in the shoe) and great for scrambling and/or easy climbing. But my foot slides around in them like no other. Also, because they don't breath as well as a normal shoe, they're pretty toasty. You're feet will stay dry (provided you're standing in a 1.5" deep puddle) but will be sweaty. All in all I like the shoes, just too wide. Hope that helps.
