MerrellWomen's Moab 2 Mid WTPF Hiking Boot, 1, Granite, 33 EU

Q: I have moderate bunions, should I get size wide width???

Yes if you have bunions perhaps a wide width, i have small bunions i ordered a half size up 7.5 i wore thick socks the shoes are absolutely comfortable i wore mine for almost 10 hours a day and my feet felt really good after a long day. I totally recommend it.

Q: How long is the break-in period for these shoes?

Depends on your feet. Everyone is different. For instance, I generally wear size 7.5 /8...I bought these shoes in size 8. Too small. Some say wearing these shoes is like walking a cloud, for others (including me) its stiff and hard. Some say no break-in time, for others (including me), my feet were killing me 10 minutes into my walk and I had blisters and chaffing. So it depends on each individual person.
