Hi Mark,

The worst nightmare with boots that I ever experienced was with a pair that was too large, because my HEEL ended up rubbed raw once the foot slid forward and a gap was formed between the heel and the boot. If you have this problem, too, than there is no hope for a good fit (I tried all of Wagga's suggestions.) I believe that an ill-fitting boot will always be that: an ill-fitting boot.

PS My winter boots are the LL Bean Gortex Cresta; they come in an extraordinary selection of sizes and widths, but as mentioned below: BEWARE! They run 1/2 size too long!! (I had to painfully discover this fact)

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
