Hey,
Sorry if this stuff has been asked/spoken about already (it probably has), and sorry if it's not cool to just sign up and jump in and ask for advice like this.
However, just got a pair of Maine Guide OX DB (10E. I wear 11/10.5 in most shoes) and am a little concerned about the sizing. Length wise, I think they're fine. A little heel slip but from what I gather that's normal/to be expected. If anything they're roomy. Width wise, they do feel a little tight. Certainly tighter than any of my other shoes, though I do mostly wear Clarks, which I've always found to be supremely comfortable.
The width 'problem' is not so much in the toe box, but slightly further back towards the bottom of the toes, if that makes sense? I also find the 'depth' of the shoe to be a bit shallow (as in from sole to top side of toes).
Just wondered, to what extent will they stretch. If they will stretch, how long should I expect? I notice a few pages back someone mentioned that theirs were 'very tight'. I wouldn't go as far as to say that these were 'very tight', but it's certainly noticeable.
I've already worn these once, so I can't return them. However if the width thing will be a problem I'd rather look into selling/trading them now.
Thanks in advance.
