Diesel Boot Natural Waxed Commander

grantstone Diesel Natural Waxed Commander, mini lug sole, 6.5E. I bought these for my wife for our trip to Colorado, it is her first pair of boots. I chose the men’s instead of the ladies models because I wanted a lug sole for going on hikes. She’s a 9 in women’s Hoka and Birkenstock, and 8.5 in Nike and Adidas. That converts to about 7.5 in mens size. Knowing that the Leo last is roomy I decided to go smaller in length and add width for her toes. I was right, 6.5E fits her perfectly. No heel slip and no toe pinch, perfect length. The only complaint about break in was the rubbing on her ankles because she is not used to wearing tall shoes or boots. These are very thick and beefy boots for how small they are, and the quality and finishing is incredible. Grant Stone does not disappoint. Thank you everyone at stitchdownbootcamp and vintagefeatherr for answering my questions about sizing.
