I have my first walking tour in the fall. But I was looking for a hiking shoe / hiking boots. For easy tours this model was suggested in various forums. So I ordered the shoes in the 40 2/3. From the foot length he had super fit. So I, however, slightly constricted, restricted myself in the ankle area of the plastic of the shoe. I do not know why this may be. But it was a non-purchase criterion for me. Otherwise, the shoe was quite slight foot and stylish anyway. I guess for others this may be the dream of hiking boots, I'll keep looking.
