Hi all! I recently bought the Merrell Moab 3s in a size 6 and 6.5. When I went to REI, the person working there said that I am a size 5.5 with narrow feet and medium arches. She told me to get a size 6. The 6.5s are super roomy in the toe box but it feels like my heel moves a bit. However, I am concerned that a size 6 might feel tight if my feet swell. The first three pics are a size 6 and the last three are a 6.5. Any advice?

This isn’t how you try boots on… 🤦♂️
Here’s what you do, find out if there’s a return policy for shoes that are worn. If there is, go for a hike around the distance you want to hike and access if it’s right for you. If not wear the shoes in the house for a few hours. If you have stairs go up and down them for 10 minutes. When either of the situations are complete access hour comfortable you feel in the shoes. I buy hiking/running shoes a half size large because your feet will swell during the activity. There’s a 0% possibility you can know how shoes will feel while trying them on because there hasn’t been swelling feet and friction for accent and descent.
Having you tried on the boots with your hiking socks?
