first pair, definitely won't be
"first pair, definitely won't be the last. i ordered a 9 on the brand's size quiz's recommendation—i am typically an 8. 5 (NA)—and they are about as too big for my foot as i was expecting. i think im going to try on an 8 at a local retailer before i buy next time to see if i can handle how much they might cramp my toes because the tippiness of the toe of the boot, something im not used to but is necessary for them not to clop like hooves,feels like its exacerbated by my foot not filling the space in the toe box adequately. left boot needs some moleskin to protect my ankle as the flex/fold of the material when walking digs in right under my ankle; this might be a result of my ankle shape, the slightly over-sized nature of my pair, or both. love these shoes! so glad i chose this style for my first pair!"
