text: These are really comfortable with one exception. The tongue has a really hard, thick spot at the seam which on my feet lines up right on the bony part of my foot right under my ankle bone. If I properly tighten the boots, this spot puts a crazy amount of very uncomfortable pressure on that spot, so much so that I thought just standing up with them tightened had bruised me. I'm able to wear them with the laces looser; however, this caused my foot to shift just enough inside that the side of my big toe and the back of my heel can rub enough over the course of the day to be a bit sore. This rubbing has already caused a small hole in the lining at the heel. If it weren't for that one spot on the tongue, I feel as though these would be awesome.
