If you're looking for boots, give these a try. I bought them for the AT and have spent a month breaking them in on longer and longer hikes. They feel great although I went up a half size to an 11.5. No blisters and no hot spots. My heel seats perfect with plenty of toe room. There not cheap but they work for me perfectly. You might want to change out the inserts to fine tune them.
