Just added another pair of boots to my collection! Yesterday the teenage son of a friend gave me a pair of boots that no longer fit him (his dad must have suggested me to him, as he knows I wear boots). They're Chippewa western work boots --
Initially, when my friend's son first asked me if I'd like to have them, which was about a month ago or so, I thought they wouldn't fit me (they're a 10D, and I wear 11D in everything, although with some dress shoes I can wear 10 or 10.5). I was sad to say no too, since I knew which style he had and thought they looked cool! But then I thought about it and consented to try them on, and I was surprised! With boot socks they feel rather tight in the instep, but not intolerably so. With athletic socks they aren't tight at all -- perhaps a little too loose!
