Hello

I recently bought a pair of Asolo Hiking boots and after wearing them for a week I find they start behaving weird a little.


Make: Asolo
Model: 535 V

The picture above was taken with the back of my feet rised from the floor, just like when your foot is pushing forward. If you look at the boot to the right, you'll notice the leather bend quite high (above the last set of laces, not sure how to name that). As a result, it presses against the top of my foot each time I push forward with that boot.

The other boot (to the left) does not behave like that and only the tip of the boot bend as I push forward.

I never had this problem with hiking boots before and I am now wondering if this is a problem or simply something time will solve. Right now there is no enjoyment wearing those boots cause the pressure it makes on my foot is a little painful. Of course, it wasn't doing this when I first bought them

Any thoughts?


Thanks!

I'd return them.

No, they won't get better with time. No, your feet won't toughen up so you don't notice it. Footwear is the one place where it's all about fit, fit, fit. Mouse is right: Take them back. (I assume whoever sold them to you will stand behind their products. If not, don't buy from that vendor anymore.)

If you bought them online, without being able to try them on, don't make that mistake when you replace them.
