text: I had high hopes for these boots as they are made by a Canadian company in the USA rather than overseas. The quality looked really good. Unfortunately, as a heavier man they don't fit around my calf. They aren't too small for my foot but they are too narrow for my big fat leg. Also, when trying them on with just cotton socks that were a little damp with sweat, I couldn't push my heel fully into the bottom of the boot without a painful amount of effort. The distance between the heel and instep is narrow and neither side has any &#34;give&#34; so it's hard to push in your foot. Maybe they require breaking in.
