We Are So Lame Hiking Boots

Should hunting boots be tight with little wiggle room for hunting on rough terrain?

I recently bought some boots and am trying to decide to return them and go with a wider size. I am elk hunting in colorado and am worried that I do not have any room in my boots to move my toes. I will be hiking some rough terrain. Should my boots be like a cocoon around my feet or should I have at least a little moving room in there?

I’ve always gotten hiking boots that fit like my figure skates. I guess I just assumed the same fit would work and it always has for me. A bit of wiggle room for the toes (helps keep balance and keeps toes warmer), tight across the instep (making sure it keeps the heel locked against the back of the boot) and snug around the ankle. I know wiggle, tight, and snug are subjective terms. I suppose I’ve just been doing it so long I know what feels right to me.
