Newbie......Just bought my first pair of Aldens.....I have a fitting question. I recently purchased a pair of Indy boots (pictured). Normally I wear an 11D. Joe at the Shoemart was a wealth of info, he spent the better part of 30 minutes with me on the phone. I was ready to pull the trigger on my first pair of 10.5 D's on the Trubalance last, color 8. I asked him if they by chance had the boots in Cigar.....He had one pair in 10.5 C, and after much discussion he felt these might fit....So I purchased. Upon opening the box, they were more than I hoped for...really beautiful boots. I tried them on and they felt perfect in the length, but perhaps a tiny bit snug in the width, but not tight. I have worn the boots for an hour or two over 2 - 3 days inside the house. They seem to be getting a bit more comfortable, but still snug. QUESTION: Will they continue to perhaps stretch a bit in the width upon wearing them more full time ? Opinions please......I want to keep these !!! Thanks to all-
