    After a long wait, finally found me boots and a pair of shoes, its me feet ya know,
    I'm a martyr to them.
    The other problem for the boots is, me legs are on the skinny side and the opening at the top
    is too wide ! Would let a lot of rainwater in for sure :p
    Too many times I order things only to send them back, which I don't like the bother of
    but has to be done. Things look so much better on the website, don't ya think ...........?
    Safety pins I reckon ............

    Good for you... I have the opposite problem with knee length boots. Having been an athlete in my youth I have really wide calf's so it's hard for me to get boots to fit me without having to pay a fortune for them.

    You're right tho' things do look so much better on a website, which is why except for slippers, and sketchers trainers, I don't buy boots or shoes online..

    My shoe sizes are pretty standard so I can be sure that a size 8 ½ or 9 shoe will fit me, so I do buy shoes online. I like the fact that there are so many more choices available online.

    I can't buy pants or shirts online with that kind of assurance though, as pants sizes vary so much from manufacturer to manufacturer. A size that might fit very well from one manufacturer won't even be close from another.

    It's been a while since I have bought shoes in a store, though.

    I could not buy clothing online at all. Especially shoes, me and the hubby have wide feet with issues,mainly him.
    @Patsy Faye , maybe roll up a sock or to and stuff it around the top of the boot:)

    @Ken Anderson - you are so right about men's pants and shirts, we have to buy 'mainly' on line though
    as there's not much choice in the shops nearby.

    Exactly what I have done Gloria. I wore the boots this morning, nice and warm
    I have a pair of socks with no foot that you position at the top, fills in the space nicely. :)
    Some boots are like 'buckets' at the top to catch all the rainwater :p

    Do you wear your jeans inside your boots Patsy...if you don't wear jeans try footless tights or leggings..

    I do wear leggings, the boots are still a bit loose at the top so the sock idea works nice :)
