text: Darn, I sure wanted these cute boots!  I've been eyeing them for a long time, wondering if I could splurge and get a pair of Mephisto's!  I'm disappointed that they aren't offered in a wide width as well, as they do run narrow as some reviewers have said.  I've learned from a previous pair of narrow boots that one pays a heavy price for sticking with a shoe that one hopes to break in.  My feet have never been the same, and I've learned my lesson.  I so hoped they'd fit my feet like a glove, but I don't want to take the chance.  Also, just as an aside, I've noticed these boots are offered on other websites as made in France versus Portugal, where mine were made.  Don't know if that makes a difference, but quality control might be compromised when farming out production.  Thank you for allowing me to get the satisfaction of trying these boots at a reasonable sale price, but I've learned the hard way that you don't mess with fit when it comes to your feet.  These are going back, reluctantly.
