Bristol Low Hiking Boot

I bought these as a more unconventional alternative to “the white sneaker” that goes with anything that I can wear casually and at work. I was worried about the comfort level because of the suggestion to size down a full size. I wear 8.5 in dress shoes/sandals and always a 9 in boots, sneaks and hiking shoes. I purchased a size 8 and when I initially tried them on, my big toe was touching the front of the shoe a bit so I thought they were going to be a problem. Howeverrrr, I decided to give them a shot hoping they would break in and kinda mold to my foot shape more and I’m so glad I did. I’ve worn these almost every day since they arrived about 3 weeks ago and I keep getting compliments. I had no issues with discomfort, no blisters, and no achey feet and I’ve worn both thick and thin socks with them at this point. I love them!! I wish they had them in black now but only white is available atm. They don’t feel too heavy either. I have a lot of chunky platforms and these are the most comfortable ones I own. They look just as they do online too in my opinion. There were no surprises about the quality or appearance when I opened the box.
