I needed new shoes due to serious medical feet problems. I came across these shoes, and for the price, color (black), wide toe box, slip-resistance, they were perfect...UNTIL I tried to put the insoles my doctor gave me and tried to put them on. Because the default insoles are not removable, the shoes became too tight for me right around where tongue of the boot meets the metatarsal guard/vamp/instep. Not having time or money to return and replace with a bigger size, I took my knife and made two small incisions in the metatarsal guard/vamp/instep on each side of each boot right under the last eyelet. This gave me the room I needed with the new insoles. RECOMMENDATIONS: Make the insole removable or make the metatarsal guard/vamp/instep part more flexible.
