I can only speak to the guide tennie

I wear size 8 in most street shoes and size 8 in the guide tennie

The guide tennie is also known to have a wide toe box … Though it does need a bit of breaking in

The leather ones are a bit better built than the canvas ones IME

Also get the 2013 model that has the extended rubber along the sides … This is the highest wear area of the uppers

I own like 4-5 pairs

No idea about the rest

I had the opposite experience with sizing. I generally wear 9.5-10. I ordered 5.10 Guide Tennies (2012 canvas) in size 10, and had to return them. Way too tight. I got a pair of 10.5 instead, and the length is good, but my pinkie toe is a little constricted. I do not have particularly wide feet or toes. I made it up Long's Peak keyhole route and back in them with no foot issues, and will probably buy size 10.5 again, but every time I put them on I wish they were about 1/4"-1/2" wider on the outside of the toe box.

Thanks for sharing the deal though, Eric. I'll probably snap up an identical pair at $29, depending on how much shipping turns out to be.

P.S. do not wear these on hard floors inside your house (especially if married) or inside a friend's house. You will leave scuff marks everywhere.

Would you consider the Guide Tennie for lightweight trail backpacking? I'm looking for cushining, and I bring my own support with custom orthotics (so I need the insole to be removeable).

It works if it fits your foot

The biggest downside is that the tread pattern is poor on mud or loose dirt

Its really meant as a scrambling shoe on talus/rock/etc

There isnt a ton of cushioning (its one of the flatter approach shoes), but it does deform less when on rocks and sidehilling

We use it all the time on trails to climbs when its dry

Im not sure how removable the insole is, ive never had to take it out
