Wish they fit

I REALLY, REALLY wanted these boots to work for me. At first I thought they might, but a few test hikes proved me wrong. History has taught me that regardless how much I admire a boots quality and attention to detail if it does not fit it’s pointless. So I’m returning them. I guess my feet just don’t jive with Italian designed footwear for this isn’t the first time I’ve been shot down by the Boot Country. The proper length for me always feels alittle narrow at the forefront of my feet, and I don’t have wide feet! Half size up– gives me a comfortable width, but now the boots too long. I’ve tried and failed in the past with two other Italian boot manufacturers with blistering results ( pun intended) even years after. But I do want you to know that these are very high quality boots. This is the first pair of Kaylands that I’ve tried and I am impressed.
Doesn’t seem that long ago that if you were going to spend this kind of money on a pair of boots that little things like QUALITY wasn’t an issue! Boy have times changed.
Granted– its been afew years sense I’ve gone boot shopping, but I was amazed at the amount of junk on the market at even the two hundred bucks plus range!
At least these boots have Vibram soles, no plastic eyelets anywhere and one of the better (if not the best) water-proof liners. Stitching uniformed and tidy . Nope, the Italians still don’t like me, but they my love you! I’d recommend you check these out.
