Last week is walked the Narrows at Zion National Park. I sized up and the 10 fits much better, with some room to spare but still fitted and comfortable. Nice wood grain and well made. Great value for the price point. I even mentioned in the email that this was the first time I bought one of their products and this is a chance for them to build a relationship with what could become a lifelong customer. They are so supportive and comfortable and made a huge difference. But more importantly, the shoe is cut too high on the top of the quarter/throat. I feel like I just ordered it and it was already at my door (exaggerating to make a point here :p). Look at the length on these! I tried several sound bars from Bose, Samsung, etc.
