“Test them out in a store before buying”

“The first pair I bought were my normal shoe size, 7 1/2. They felt great in the house, but the minute I walked down my steep driveway, I knew I'd have problems hiking, so I sent them back and ordered 8's. I guess these shoes where not the right ones for me. After wearing them hiking, and I hike a lot, and have a different pair of Merrells, my calves ached. In fact, they were not comfortable during the hike. I was so disappointed because I loved the color, the look, and the feel just around the house.”
