Hey guys, I recently bought a pair of the black diesel boots with the rubber sole, size 9.5EEE. The fit is excellent and the boots are badass, however I've noticed something strange about them since wearing them a bit here and there.
On the underside of the boot on the outsole, near the center/ball of the foot area, there is pronounced bulge, or rather, the sole curves up quite aggressively on either side from the centerline. When walking in these boots, it feels like I'm stepping on an uneven surface where my foot/the boot wants to wobble either to the left or right of this bulge.
My question is: Is this typical for new boots of this nature and should I continue to try and break them in, or should I reach out to GS and request an exchange?
I've attached two photos that depict the sole coming to a peak of about 1-1.5 inches of material.
Thank you!
