NRS Boundary Sizing?

If you wear these, is the sizing comparable to athletic shoes?  If I wear a size 10 Nike, is the NRS Boundary size 10 comparable, smaller, or larger?

Yes, yes, I know I want a size or two larger for kayaking footwear, but I need a baseline to know what to order because there's a sad lack of brick-and-mortar sporting goods stored on the South coast where I can try them on - and I'm tired of wading boots that are still damp the next morning.

  I wear a size 9.5 Nike running shoe and bought size 11 Boundary. Wearing footed dry pants with thick socks the Boundary slips on easily stays firmly on my foot (even in deep mud) and comes off with a minimum of struggle. Works for me.

Thank you, Mark.  Exactly what I needed to know.

Did you end up getting some?  I normally wear a 12 or a 13 depending on the brand so I went with the 13 and its definitely got some room.  It's pretty comfy, but I'm debating looking for something else (or a smaller size) while they're still brand new and returnable.

Yeah, I did.  Jumped up to 13's and they're at least a half size too big - but hardly anyone makes anything in a size 12.5, so I'll stick with these and wear lots of socks.

I think I'm in the same boat. A nice pair of socks makes a difference.  I debated getting some sort of water shoe instead but I really like the idea of the taller boot.  Though, not sure if the dry suit goes under or over, the socks on mine go way up the leg.

I'm not sure, but I think you're talking about the gravel guards that cover the top of the socks?  They're meant to minimize how much sand and gravel can get into the top of a boot and potentially damage the socks.  A tall boot would go over that.  A shorter boot goes under it.

I don't expect to use these in saltwater.  I use mid-height zip-up dive/reef boots for saltwater because of their stronger/heavier soles.

These are for lakes and smaller rivers where I wear a dry pants/semi-dry top instead of my dry suit.  I've been using my wading boots and decided there's got ot be a better way.

I'm told the similar White River boots at Bass Pro run on the small side.  If you have a BP nearby, you might check them out.
