"I have slightly wider feet and thick ankles, that being said these boots aren't "fitted" around my ankle. In fact, I have tried to tie them as tight as they will go and on the lower half of the boot the laces look normal but the upper half are as tight as they will go and still loose! Even with that I am really liking these boots. I want to wear them with everything! I am worried that I am going to wear them out prematurely :)"
