    I'm a proud 10.5 in the shoe measuring device.

    I'm in size 12 Altra timps right now with light cushion darn toughs.

    When I haven't been hiking all day they feel like there almost too big and I could wear a 11.5

    After long days on the trail, my foot don't hurt and my feet aren't beat up or swollen due to that slight extra room I believe.

    When I put my shoes on untied I can look slightly shift my foot front rear. When I lace them up the heel locks in and I have no movement.

    I don't experience toe jamming on the downhills either.

    I had a little Achilles pain when I first started hiking in altra shoes. After a little while I've never had a sore Achilles since.

    I move more ninja like in zero drop shoes.

    My feet went from 10-1/2 to 12-1/2 mostly in the first three years of long distance hiking.

    I was a solid size 9 before my first AT thru hike. Gained a size that time. Second hike same thing. Now a size 11.5 seems comfortable on the trail. Doesn't matter what brand or kind of shoe, although my preference is boots. I can't really speak to why, how or what causes it, but I can say that hiking the AT caused my boot size to increase.
