How did the fit compare?

The fit is very good. Even with wool socks, it's still comfortable.
Would you go so far as to say that the fit of the other [waterproof, lugged sole] Katahdin is virtually the same as the model you ordered? If that's the case, I'll try on the model they still carry in store. I asked to try on the waterproof model but the SA I spoke with indicated that the two boots were significantly different.

They were very very similar. The water proof lugged has a nice padding for the heel which the Katahdin doesn't. It also felt heavier and of course the huge soles. I went with the same size and felt it was very similar. I'd probably go for the same size. Plus if you're ordering online, the return policy is great.
Oh, what the hell. Just got off the phone with LL Bean. The person I got told me the 10.5s probably won't be in stock until Spring. I asked if she was sure about that and she said yes.
I feel your pain. I went to the LL Bean store in my area tried on the pair that was similar to the Katahdin's and thought a 10.5 wide would fit. Got the 10.5 wide in the mail and they were def. big. Tried returning for a 10.5 reg. and all sold out. That was over 2 months ago. I decided to try and go with a size 10. Got them yesterday and the fit is great. I'm 10.5-11 in everything else.
Didn't want to give into that hope and find that the 10 was too short but... I think I'll try what you did. It'll sure beat having to wear illfitting boots all winter.. which is what I planned on doing (thick sock fit is okay but I am not a thick sock fan).
