Kids' Mt. Maddsen Waterproof Hiking Boot

I like the comfortability of the shoe and the flexible support, but I usually wear a size 6.5-7 women's so i bought a size 5.5 kids and they fit like a size 9 women's shoe. I tried lacing them up thinking that would help, but my foot kept sliding around, which is not ideal for hiking. I am going to return them and get the proper size, it just sucks because of the inconvenience. Especially with the closest store being almost an hour an a half away.

I have been buying these boots for 6 years. Once a year, every year. I am adult woman, but buy the boys for several reasons: 1.Price point 2. Women's boots are more fashion than work, and the ankle height is too high for me and I develop ankle bone pain. 3. I have to, because they wear out on the seams every time. Never the soles, never the leather, the seams break apart at the lacing edges after about 11 months of daily use. I only wear them to walk the dogs twice a day about 5 miles a day, 7 days a week. I love the boots, but hte consistent breakdown is disappointing. But, I'll keep buying until I find something that fits my ankle and foot,
