Need hiking boots recommendation for thru-hiking the Pinhoti Trail

I'm seriously considering thru-hiking the Pinhoti Trail, and hopefully this will lead to at least section hiking the AT. But I have NO idea where to start with boots. I have some Merrell hiking shoes, but I know they're probably not built for what I'm going to do. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you!

Salomon X Ultra 5 Women's Hiking Shoe

I am looking to buy these but REI only carries them around me online. I normally wear a 6.5. Does anyone know if they are true to size?
