I’ve been wearing these boots for a couple weeks. I’m impressed with their overall fit, comfort and performance. They are really light and have great board feel. Other than the added grip of a boot, I feel barefoot. I've worn the 3mm down to lower 50's and haven't had any issues with cold feet.
I’m a size 8.5 or 9 in most shoes. I can purchase any pair of Vans and know that the 9 will fit perfect. I bought the 8, heat molded them immediately and have found that they fit me perfect. I have high arches and they molded well to my arch. They do fit snug so cut your toenails…
These boots are a challenge to get on with the fitted cuff but just recently, I had a wipeout where the leg of my suit blew up to my calf. The boots fit so well that no water entered the boot. I’ll take that challenge in exchange for a great fit and no water entry. The pull strap on the heel does help.
Overall, these are a great boot and certainly the best fitting boots I’ve every worn.
