Hello,

I was looking to order a pair of the L.L. Lean Bean Boot 8" Thinsulate or the Gore-Tex/Thinsulate online, since they are not carried in Toronto.

I"ve read their sizing suggestion and a review (i'll post the link below), but I was wondering if anyone could provide guidance on based on experience?

For reference I wear 8.5 in AE Strands and 8.5 in the 1k boot with an insert.

Thank you!
Ray

Have two pairs, shearling lined ones and the unlined. For both, I sized down one from my brannock measurement and am still able to wear thick socks with them. If there are half sizes, I probably could go another half size down on the unlined one so that it fits better with thin socks. Hope this helps.
