I purchased some Western Zip Boots off ebay that are great. I understand that they need to be broken in, but they are a half-size smaller than I would normally wear. Parts of the toes are in pain and the boots leave red marks on my feet. I'm even using dress socks.
(I've gotten into wearing shoes smaller than usual since I slipped on ice and injured my ankle a year ago. I don't want it to happen again, and figure tight shoes would give more support.)
If I take out the insoles, however, they fit just fine. Is this not recommended? I'm trying to use common sense and figure that this may possibly cause an odor problem or arch problems. I could buy extremely thin insoles, but I'm not sure where I would find such a thing.
