MOST UNCOMFORTABLE FIT EVER - Expensive to return!!!

These were too stiff & constraining for me, even though I purchased 1/2 size larger than usual. Only thin socks fit in the boot!!!
Got such a good price at SAC that I didn't want to return them. So first I tried my daughter...she didn't like the fit either. Then I had my mom try them on. She loved them but literally couldn't walk in them after a few minutes...too stiff, heavy, & plus they were rubbing her shins. Both wear the same size as me & have narrow feet.
So, I had to return them, which was very expensive, even by ground mail since they need a huge box & are beyond heavy.
By comparison,TNF Nuptse Fur II are more comfortable than slippers but not protective or very supportive. So they are great for short, casual outings only.
From now on, I will only purchase apparel from TNF! Their forte is NOT BOOTS, at least not for my family's feet!!!

You can always go with the $6.99 return label to return as many pairs of shoes as you want so long as you purchased them in the same order - usually a good option when returning shoes to Backcountry
