Nice boots, just too short for downhill situations for me. I am a 41 W and bought the 41 M based on a Gobi purchase. My toe hit the end of the shoe going downhill. The 42 in women gave my toes plenty of room, but held my foot better at the ankle and sides. You want to have a thumbs width between the end of the shoe and your toe, so the 42 worked for me. If you don't have a wide foot but just want to have a wider toe box, be aware of this.

If you're in a hurry, order multiple sizes, since it takes some work to get the right fit. Returns are quick and easy.

These are nice looking boots and seem well-constructed. I am typically a 41 in women's and bought the 41 in men's so my toe box would have more room (I use correct toes). When I replicated what it'd be like to walk downhill, my toe hit the end of the shoe. I recorded a 42 in mens and a 42 in women. Kept the 42 in women's because the wider part of the ankle on the men's shoe didn't hold my foot from slipping forward in downhill situations. You want to have a thumbs width between the end of the shoe and your toe, but be mindful of the wider men's shoes not keeping your ankle tight enough to not move forward if you don't have a wide foot but just want to have a wider toe box.
