What everybody agrees upon, experts and laymen alike, is that boots
or shoes that start uncomfortable will never become comfortable.


That is just plain wrong. One pair I got was a bit tight across
the top of the foot with one foot, and the wore in fine.


The reason I persisted with them was because I got that pair
for free as a warranty claim when the soles split and I got the
exchange by mail in and I didnt get to try them on.


But that's a different case.


No its not with his silly claim that they will never become comfortable.


I worded it rather poorly. What I should have said was that boots or
shoes that are uncomfortable because of poor fit will never become
comfortable.
