Title: Schnee's boot Owners
Post by: tracker12 on December 12, 2014, 06:37:00 PM
So I am looking at a pair of Schnees 10" Guide TT boots.  I normally take a size 10/1/2.  Since they do to come in half sizes would you go with a 11 or 10.  Wondering they normally run small or large.

Have you called Schnees and asked them?  I have a pair of Schees pac boots and love them.  Bought them to my size - 10.

I think I bought mine 1 size bigger to allow for heavy socks.

I have the Hunter II pacs in my normal size and they are good even with heavy socks.

I guess I would be safer going up a size.  I do need to get it right since shipping sending boots back came be an expensive proposition.

If you are  using them above 20 grees get normal size. If you are using them colder than that get the bigger size and also the Twotracks wool insole and it will add approx 15-20 degrees of comfort.

If you're a 10 1/2, I'd get the 11 and heavy sox and the above mentioned insoles will be all good.
10 would actually be too small.

Same boat as you, Schnee's customer service said go up half a size. I have had two pair in size 11, they have been perfect.

Thats great advice right there.  
I bought my Schnees about 10 years ago and really liked them until I bought a pair of hoffmans.
Do yourself a favor and call Hoffmans. More choices with Hoffmans also.
