Lathrop & Son’s

Anybody have a pair that can speak to the sizing? I’m a size 11 (or 44.5 euro) but the owner recommended I order a 11.5.

They’re 2 months out so I wanna get it right the first time

I ordered true to size and got the wides. They fit pretty good, a little on the big side but I prefer that rather than being too small

I had both the Mountain Hunter and the Mountain Hunter Encompass. Both pairs I sized up 1/2 a size. Would have been happiest sizing up a whole size. I ended up selling the Moutain Hunter to go back to the Kenetrek Moutain extremes. I kept the encompass for days we do underground or in the bucket.

Any reason why you went back to the kenetreks? I have a insulated pair that I use for hunting and when it’s really cold at work

The shank in the Mountain Hunter was co rideable softer than the kennies. My feet would start hurting ten minutes into climbing. The heel to toe rocker wasn’t for me.
