I couldn't find a 9D to order so I ordered a 9R - I had never heard of 'R' before. This is the 4th pair of Hopalong boots I have purchased and all previous sizes were marked with a 'D'. From what I could find online, both "D" and "R" are normal widths. I couldn't find anything about the "D" or "R" sizes directly on Smoky Mountain, which only added to my confusion. I've placed them next to my 8Ds that I have and the R seems a little narrow in the toe box in comparison. . My toddler says they are comfortable but because the toe is hard I can't really feel where his fat little foot is and I have doubts about the sizing. After thinking about what to do all week, I finally decided to return the size R as I ended up finding a custom made 9D. Boots. They are super cute and durable. The zip is a great feature on the smaller sizes when kids need help putting their boots on. I've noticed that as my child gets older we don't use the zip feature at all, but I keep ordering this model of boot as I love it so much.
