Find a way to make them comfortable. They don't even need to be mocassins, make your own boots or whatever.

It isn't as big as you think. I mean how often do you really look down at a guy's feet?

Yeah, they only look big compared to other feet side-by-side

Finally! I bought a pair of boots made by Coleman (same guys who make Coleman lanterns, etc) and they fit very comfortably. They were reasonably priced too, which is a huge plus

All the insulation in one of those Coleman boots bunched up in one place, and it is starting to cause foot pain. If the insole wasn't sewn into the boot, I'd fix it, but all my attempts have failed. I think I'm going to cruise around town next month and try to get boots from an actual store.

How are those Danners working out, k9870

Got em today, I can say im impressed

these are Danner stryker 2 all leather side zip, i got on clearance for 130 at la police gear, actual price will be higher. They have a composite safety toe.

The zipper is smooth and easy to use, and all leather construction is sturdy and good looking. Has inserts inside for foot support and are removable i there not your thing. The waterproof lining is sweet. My old SWAT boots were only water resistant, these have a wateproof linging on the insode of the tounge so nothing can come in through the laces, and a flexible one is inside the zipper area so thats covered too. I will post an update when ive worn them enough to break them in.
