My new boots arrived, with excitement I opened the box to find a lovely boot bag, care instructions and well packaged boots with spare laces! Before going out I applied a couple of layers of waterproofing cream and let it soak in fully.
First day, the size 9 is very generous but I am hoping it will fit better once they are worn in, great waterproofing, you could see the water droplets rolling of the leather. After wearing the boots for another 4 or 5 walks with the dogs my left ankle starting to hurt? It seems the sewing on the tongue creates a pressure point at the top of my foot and digs into my ankle, I have tried pulling the tongue up as far as I can, tying the boot tight, lose but nothing seems to stop this pain!
After the 10th walk I have finally given up and gone back to my old boots that leak, but I can walk in them without suffering this pain. What is strange is why it is only in my left foot?
It's a shame as they looked really good and came for a reasonable price in the sale, but they aren't for me, and I will have to gift them to a local charity shop.
