I like the boot, just a little tight across the top of foot. Usually Aerosoles are made to be one of the more comfortable shoes. I might would have kept them anyway, but the look of them is just not justification enough to suffer. It looks as if it's a comfortable boot. I will be returning. I will say this is the first time I've ever had this kind of issue with any boot and I have a lot of pairs of boots from many makers. I think it's a design flaw, not necessarily something that occurs due to a particular person's foot shape.
