Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Hiker vs Vasque Juxt

The 8 was too small, and the 8.5 wouldn't stay on my heel no matter how tight I tied them. While these shoes look great, these are rebranded Merrells, which always run narrow and never seem to fit my feet well. The insoles are also hard with little padding, although you can replace these

On the first few wearings, there was noticeable heel lift. This has diminished somewhat as the shoes have broken in - perhaps because the sole has softened up and perhaps because the shoe is molding to my foot. But it remains true that the heel fit of the Juxt does not seem as.

Poor sizing should have been known and explained, but presumably had been ignored. With a company that normally does so well with outdoor products I would have expected better,

Kind of odd since there are so many reviews that state they fit "true to size". My foot shape isn't odd so I rarely have problems fitting that size. I'm a bit peeved though that I have to pay return shipping. Also, the option of selecting "replace" for a larger size wasn't even an option with the Seller (Rogan's Shoes out of Wisconsin)
