I'm not the easiest to find comfortable boots for. I exhausted the boot range and patience of boot advisors in Peterborough, Nottingham and finally my local shop in Norwich. The expert advice was invaluable and found me these excellent, comfortable boots. "Take them home and try them, any problems bring them back and talk to us". I did. Found my feet swell as they got hot and comfort was compromised as the boot was too good a fit. Went back, talked and tried, half a size bigger I walked out a happy man. Had them long enough now to know these are great and comfortable out of the box. The most important lesson was get advice and buy from the shop, not get advice and try and save a few quid by scouring the Internet for a percieved bargin price. You can't put a price on the service I got from the Cotswold advisors AND I have some great fitting comfortable boots at the end of the process. Don't rush the important decisions and get what you want, great boots that fit well.
