[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 574129, member: 3960"] Rockwall, I did the exact same thing. I fitted my new boots on in the store and walked about a bit. They were nice and comfortable but once I was in the bush and crouching down all I wanted to do was get them off asap. The next size up would have prevented my toes crushing into the front but the real problem is the toe-cap. It takes the flexibility out of the front of the boot and makes it bend behind the toes. At least I didn't pay too much because they were Graphite boots from Target. I think they are good boots, just no good for me. I usually buy Keens but the last ones failed badly. The sides rotted out quickly and before I got home this time I had holes in the sole. I'm looking for something better although a full leather Keens boot might do the job again.... Yeah I have as much trouble with the finance minister as I do with the boots.... Perhaps a half kilo of gold might help my case this time ;) . [/QUOTE]
