I bought a pair of 9's recently from AGV and was excited to try them on. I usually wear 8.5 to 9 sneakers (9 leaving a little more room for thicker socks). To my surprise, the 9 Sprint boots felt like 8.5s to me with thin socks on. To me, they felt uncomfortable. Luckily, AGV has an exchange policy. I'm getting 10s instead. I hope that helps.

BTW. The boots look great for the price. A little stiff, but once they're broken-in, they'll feel great too.

: Eddie -How does the size compare to regular sneaker size? Is a size 9 for instance the same as a size 9 sneaker or more like a 10 sneaker. Annie wanted to know because she fits a man 6-1/2 sneaker and there are some AGV boots availible in size 7 so she was curious. She is looking for a pair of black riding boots.

: : I told you that I ordered those Sprint boots for 40 bucks and would give some of you the "low down" on em... well here goes.. They are nice, however they don't come in half sizes.. at least that I saw. They go up to your calves and seem to provide good protection... Unlike tennis shoes you don't get wind piercing through your shoes.. they are not real form fitting around the leg but zip up and velcro for a bit of snugness. Only prob is that I don't have anything to compare these boots to because these are the first ones I have ever worn.. but hell for the price you can't beat em... I am still going to wearing my shoes for most commuting but for night riding and long rides I am gonna wear my new boots... hope this helps! For URL of site read past posts :)
