Thanks guys! I really appreciate the replies. This is helping me see some of the relation in sizing. I may venture out to some of the LBS in my area. No mega stores like Performance, but perhaps I can track down a place with some shoe inventory.

Any other feedback is appreciated!

Oooooh, Kirsten I'm about the same size as you. My feet are not super wide, but are on the wider side. I may have to keep mens shoes in mind.
