I loved these boots even though I sweat like a beast trying to put them on or take them off for the first year.  Then, the clouds parted, they loosened up a bit and I could get them on and off with thin socks.  Eureka!  Oh, but once the dreaded &#34;Doc Martens&#34; tag on the back broke, there was NO way my foot could work its way into them.  Zero chance.  I'd say, save your money and invest in some Frye's.  (PS I normally wear a size 6 but ordered up for this very issue.  Didn't help.  But I hope this review does.)
