Danny,

I had a pair of these and they fit my foot well. I enjoyed them and once broken in worked well on sandstone. They run wide and do stretch some but not much as they are lined. The sole is rather thin so they do wear out quicker than I would have liked. For $70.00 I would say they are worth trying. If you like the way Boreal fits and climbs then you will like these.

However, I should note that when my pair wore-out I wasn't running out to buy antoher pair as there are better shoes out there, but for $70.00 you really can't go wrong with this shoe...in my opinion.
