I've had two pairs of Garmont hikers and one pair of trail shoes. The trail shoes ran a little big but both pairs of boots ran true to size, so I ordered the Kiowa GTX in my normal size. Turns out they are WAY too small! I need at least a half size, probably a full size up. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the return shipping costs. It's kind of frustrating.

Have worn these boots three times now, in addition to around the house to "break in": two 1-2 hour muddy hikes and for 8 hours on a hike up to Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington in NH. The boots are awesome! My feet stayed warm and dry in the snow but they also were quite comfortable at the base of the mountain on dry ground. I definitely recommend springing for the slightly more expensive version with the Gore-Tex. Excellent traction - no slipping going uphill or downhill in the slush! I love the mid-height ankle support. It's just enough for what I need without being cumbersome. My fiance wears the mens Garmont Kiowa and he loves them too. We're so glad to have found these tough, cruelty-free boots! Happy trails!

Love these boots! They are extremely comfortable right out of the box. These boots keep my feet warm and dry. Finally an animal friendly hiking boot that does not leave my foot sweaty. can't say enough good things bout them. Fit true to size as well.
