The new balance disappointed me. Again.

I've wanted to buy this pair of boots for over a year. This is an amazing mid-range boot. But the price was out of my reach. But then the price almost halved, so I bought it. But they come back. Sad. But the reason is simple, it's the wrong size. I'm 58 and have worn a 10.5 Wide (or 2E as some call it) since I was 13.

I have some shoe stretchers I used to attack them and it helped in the middle but the toe box is still too tight. Can't return them because I wore them outside but for a $150…

Pros
  • Walking
Cons
  • Vulgarity
