“nice boots but didn't work for me”

“I can't disagree with all the wonderful reviews of this product by other users, but these boots just didn't fit my foot. I had to return the 5.5's for a pair of 5's - these boots are not sized "too small" for me as stated in other reviews and recommendations. The boots appear to be supportive enough for my needs and they were comfortable at the start. The design of the boot allows it to hinge at the ankle, but that presses the boot into the top of my foot when walking downstairs or downhill to the point where I know would be too painful for any actual hiking. I also noticed a pressure point on the inside of my foot just above the arch where a blister started to form while trying out the boots walking around the neighborhood.”
