Overall I feel the price with the discount made these boots worth wild. I won't be in them everyday as a volunteer, but I was someone who was looking to upgrade my current issued miss-matched boots. I would definitively go with the wide or extra wide. I do not have wide feet and the wide boots are just a little snug. I figure they will break over overtime. If you have wide feet, order the extra wide. I probably could have gone up an extra 1/2 size from my current hiking boots and issued fire boots. Overall, good if you can find it on sale, I probably would have rated 3 stars if I had to pay full price.

Do not buy your shoe size. I tried customer service at ""The Fire Store"" and they could not tell me how to buy for size or width. I had the same problem at another site by taking their advice. 1- buy the size wider than you normally wear. Both this and the next suggestion relate to the wearing of heavy socks for either cold or padding. You want to be able to put these on fast without wasting time struggling to get your feet into them. 2-Minimally half a size larger, in more cases than not, a full size larger than your shoe would be best. Half a size works with lighter socks, but may be an issue with heavier winter type ones.
