Odd how hard it is to find the right boot. After a number of years my comfortable winter snow boots wore out. So I ordered the exact same boot on-line. Returned them for a refund because they hurt my big toes.
As there was no wider or bigger size available, I bought a pair that fit but were twice the price. I wore them once and the chaffed my skin above the ankle. The only thing that kept me from bleeding was my heavy socks. I tried to return them and they said they don't allow returns for comfort reasons. I told them firmly that a boot that scraps the skin off people is a design flaw and a health hazard. They gave me refund and suggested another boot. I left the store.
Two doors down was shoe store with a sale on. Took three tries, but I finally found a boot I could walk in without pain. Surprize! Surprize! They were made in Canada, not China.
