My question is for those who are familiar with the boot: If I normally wear a size 10 for my other footwear, should I get the Boundary Boot also in size 10? I'll probably be wearing thick wool socks underneath the boot and I have wide feet (at least up front by the toes).

Thank you in advance for any opinions you might share.

Size up. I normally wear an 11 for all shoes and found the NRS 12 paired with a merino wool sock to be mighty comfy.

Size up one.

I have the previous version and also sized up one for an aftermarket insole and heavier sock.

Size up. I also highly recommend putting a wool insole in it. It will absorb a lot of moisture and can be removed at camp to dry out, keeping the boot much dryer as well.

The one issue I had was that the right boot split on top in the crease above the toes on the right side. NRS sent me a new pair no charge and I sent the damaged ones back to them.

I’m a size 10 with wide feet at the front, similar to you. I bought a pair of Boundary Boots just a couple years ago and sized up to 11. It was the right call. I’ll be getting a stiff insole this year because the boots are pretty soft on the bottom.
