Note, these are sized to perfect standard. So if you are a woman with a wide foot or a very tall instep, order the men's version instead.

I paid extra for the Vibram sole option so that when I am at reenactment events, I am less likely to slip and fall

I am currently stretching mine over the instep because I am a perfect 9 in length, BUT I have a very tall foot. Next time, depending on how these stretch (and they already seem to be doing very well)....

...I will prolly order the men's 7 version. But not if these perform well during the stretch. Next to come, a large order involving his 14th century buckle ankle boots. IN EVERY COLOR

Wow! Very nice.
