Men's Muckster II Ankle Boot

I wear them for weeklong fishing trips 2 or 3 time a year. They perform well and keep my feet dry and comfortable. Bought my first pair in 2011, and even though (after 13 year) the soles dried out and had zero traction (probably from being stored in a hot attic between fishing trips) and was happy to order another pair in 2024. Size 10 was too large and it was easy to send them back and get a size 9 which is working out fine now.

The boots are great and just what is needed for working in wet conditions. Ankle height good to keep dry and easy on/off. My only issue and I can't be alone is No half sizes. Wear a 81/2 for most all shoes. Bought a pair of tall Brushland last year and was able to try on in store. 8 uncomfortable with toes bumping front so tried 9 and was swimming in them- purchased 8. Purchased Muckster for better need and had to do 9 knowing other issue. Flopping around even with an added insole also uncomfortable. Concerned about rubbing and blister when wearing for long periods. Half sizes??
