Specific question and discussion NSD! Sizing question...
After weeks of deliberation and research, ended up going with the RB Lightning 90's. I ordered them in both the 9/9.5 and the 10/10.5 since I've seen many mixed opinions about the sizes and there is no place near me to try them on. My running shoes are 10W Hokas, and I've always worn wide shoes. Received the 10/10.5 today and the liner (removed from the boot) fits my foot perfectly. I mean tight, like it was custom fit for my foot, but not cramped or squishing my toes. With the liner out, I put my foot inside and to the front and there is a little bit more then 2 fingers behind my heel and the back of the boot. Question is, is this too much space? The liner seems to fill out the boot perfectly with just a slight bit of room to flex my feet, but not have them slide or move around. Also wondering if the 9/9.5 will come with the same size liner, but just a slightly smaller boot, and if I should wait to try them on. Don't want to run into a situation where they stretch so much that they eventually become sloppy, which I've read happens to people sometimes. Thanks for any input!
