Question Altama Maritime Mid - Sizing help

[nomro]

Hello ,
I'm thinking of buying the Altama Maritime Mid. And I was looking for help with sizing. I usually wear regular shoes size between 9 and 10 (42 - 43 EU) , Should I get a 10?
Thanks

I wear 12-13 and got 13's. I took the sole out and they fit perfect.

I dive cold water and depending on how thick my socks are they can feel snug and be a little tough to get on but feel great in the water.

I have wider size 9 feet (8.5 to 9.5 depending on specific shoe, intended use, and socks), and their 9W are what I use for warm water diving. I did not remove the insole on mine and can use a light (2-3mm) neoprene sock with them just by loosening the laces a bit.

They do come in half sizes (I use 10.5W with my drysuit to accout for the laminate socks of the suit and thermal layers), so maybe a 9.5?

Also are you driven to upsize for width in your shoes, if so take advantage of the wide option for the Altamas.

You dont list your location but for US, the best pricing that I've found for them are in these quoted posts:

I have orderd them twice from LA Police Gear (Altama Boots - OTB & Combat | LA Police Gear). They run a 20% of Altama every few months, but they ARE difficult to deal with. Both orders: I placed it; they cancelled it as out of stock/delayed; I reached out and told them - "I don't care, I want it"; the order shipped in a handful of days.

A great deal on closeout Altama Maritime Assault Mids just hit my inbox from Botach: Footwear On Sale - Altama OSWAT SW Footwear SALE - Botach
Price is $40 or $50 depending on color and the seem to have a decent selection of sizes. Further discounting on 4+pairs.

My usual supplier LAPoliceGear.com is also running a closeout sale but have almost no sizes available and the deals are not as good.

I picked up a pair of 9W Multicams for $53 delivered.

Hope it is helpful to someone on the fence.

One more question:
Should I get the normal or the wide version. Usually I wear regular versions of shoes and boots.
Also how wide are they compared to the regular fit (how many CMs for size 10 ?)

If you wear regular then get regular. I wear wide, usually have to upsize my normal shoes because they're duck feet and too wide.

They will break in a little over time. Mine are not quite as rigid as they used to be.
