    Amazon now "looks" at the size, shape, width, depth etc. of all shoe/boots you have purchased from Amazon.

    Amazon then compares that data to any new shoe/boot size, shape, misc. measurements and tells you if footwear you are now considering will be a match.

    Like the idea, but it stills makes me a bit...

    Need new trail boots. I normally look at Danner or Lowa, but they have become awful proud of their footwear, from the tune of $250USD and up.

    With the economic uncertainty, am now looking at spending less. A lot less as in $60USD.

    Found Nortiv 8, which get mostly great reviews.

    That whole Amazon, shoe fitment thing has me a bit, I don't know, but it claims the Nortiv will fit well.

    On Amazon, yes. Only retailer I have looked into. WalMart also sells them

    Well, Amazon claims Nortiv 9.5W will be a match made in China:D, so I think I will order.

    However, WalMart has them for $40, so think I will wait until Black Friday and see if Amazon comes down from their current mid-$50.

    If I do want to return, much rather deal with Amazon
