Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I took a few steps with these boots, and took them right back off, they hurt so much! They bend where the pic is marked, and the way the boots are stitched they have to bend at that place. I wear heavy socks but it still hurt. The distance from the bend point to where the toe starts rounding down is 1 1/4", whereas my bare feet measure 1 3/4" from their bend point to the end of my foot. Add in 1/2" for fitting, and the boots need to measure 2 1/4" in that area. So this area of the boot is one inch too short! I said 'fit as expected' above because the boots felt great standing in them, but actually walking....! I notice in the reviews that this is an old complaint from some women with this boot.
