I have returned it to exchange for a bigger size. I am always a size UK7 but these boots are very small, I have gone up to an UK8.5 for fit, however the boot looks and feels great. Just hope I can get the correct size.
I originally ordered size 7, which is my usual size, but they were too small and returned them for an 8, which fit perfectly on my foot shape (slim ‘Roman’ shape with long toes, so not always easy to fit). I’ve never had to wear an 8 before but they feel good with thick or ordinary socks. Customer service was absolutely fantastic - they answered my questions in full, kept a replacement pair aside and sent them very promptly. The boots themselves are great - comfy right away, excellent grip, lightweight and look good too! I’ve done a few short hikes already, with lots of rocky sections and scrambly slopes, and they make me feel confident and sure-footed.
