Title: Boots
Post by: vorter on October 03, 2010, 08:17:19 PM
So the other day, I went to a Army-Navy store to buy new boots since my old ones were small. I purchased a size 5 (I tried them on with boot socks). I didn't really know what size my old boots were, but when I got home I found out I had a 5 1/2 originally. I went down 1/2 a size, yet the new boots are much bigger. Does anyone know why this is? Perhaps the different brands/manufacturing date?

It is all about the brand and style of the boot. Altima boots are about half size down from running shoes. Takima boots are about half size up.
