Great boot - Excellent for Wide Feet, December 29, 2010
The boot follows the standard new balance sizes we have been use to over the years. New Balance has had problems with their sizing standard on some models since they picked up the Dunham line. I had to return New balance shoes for the first time ever this year because of fit problems. It is very frustrating for me to loose that trust with them as I could always count on New Balance in the past.
HOWEVER, they got it right on this Dunham model. You can trust the sizing on this boot. I ordered a 10 4E like I have for years in the old new balance shoe lines and it fit just as perfectly as they did right out of the box with no break in. The boot itself is well made and looks to be very durable. It may be years before I can tell you how long they will really last.
They are VERY comfortable and provide more support than my new balance trail shoes. I completely recommend this hiker. My experience with them is limited to day hikes and weekend wear but I have the feeling they can do much more.

Good Start... We'll See..., July 3, 2011
This review is from: Dunham Men's MCR6630G Cloud Mid Cut Boot (Apparel)
I needed some hiking boots and since my size is 10 1/2 EEEE I picked Dunhams. FYI online shoppers; like EVERY G* D*'d boot made in China they are NOT ACCURATELY SIZED!
I normally wear Tony Lamas. They're American Podiatrist Assoc. approved, made in Texas and their lasts are perfectly sized. I have ordered half a dozen pairs online and they ALWAYS fit like a glove. That won't happen with the Clouds. I wisely found a local shoe store and had mine fit to me. I thought they were US made like the leather models or I wouldn't have bought them at all. They are now well fit, look good and appear well made. Quality is a management issue and it is possible these guys will work well long term. We'll see how they hold up.
Please note prior to purchasing the Cloud online:
My True Size: 10 1/2 EEEE
My Cloud Size: 11 1/2 EEEE
The miss-sizing is in the widths. The Chinese idea of EEEE isn't EEEE. You need to up the length to get the width at the ball of your foot correct. It is foolish that New Balance would compromise the Dunham brand by whoring out the manufacture to China and perverting the accuracy of sizing which built the reputation of the New Balance brand. They should fire the SOB bean counters making these crappy decisions.
I noted the two 1 Star ratings in the Amazon Reviews complained of stitching coming loose at the flexion point on the ball of the foot. That actually could be caused by the sizing problem I'm pointing out. Those shoes could simply be too tight leading to the failure at the stitching. If you do buy online buy a 1/2 or full length long. There's much cushion in the shoe and excellent lacing. You won't be too loose.

Large Sizes, July 22, 2010
This review is from: Dunham Men's MCR6630G Cloud Mid Cut Boot (Apparel)
I purchased the Dunham Cloud boot in size 16b (narrow). This is the best fitting boot I've ever owed. Super comfortable and light weight too.
I highly recommend this boot!
