Women's Chelsea Boot Tuff

i have very "foot-shaped" feet"-- wide toe splay, narrow heel-- but still want some protection from the ground since my walk to work is all on concrete. these almost work for those needs. the protection is perfect-- not too much, not too little-- but these could be more "foot shaped." the boots are miles more comfy than the pointy (non-lems) oxfords i was wearing to work last year-- but i do wish these guys were cut on the same last as the primal zen's (which i loveeee.) these boots are less "foot shaped" with a less dramatic difference between width in the heel and toe. i sized up (a half size) in the boot and find it narrower in the toebox than the smaller primal zens. :( i ended up removing all the insoles and using a heel-only insole from the drug store to support my heel from slipping in the back and give me more room for my toes to wiggle at the front. this totally works, and is still an improvement over my old dress shoes, but i hope that these shoes get re-released it is with more of a "foot-shaped" mentality!

I love the quality of boot , and the sole. I also have the boulder summit boot with same sole that does well in wet conditons.

The Chelsea boot is rugged texture leather and they are wide enough for my wide bunioned feet . Easy to get on and off because we take our shoes off inside. A winner in my life.
