I wanted to love these, Ive been trying to find a pair of boots like these for years. They looked very nice but once I tried them on, I noticed they felt very tight under the first 4 eyelets; I have very narrow feet, so this is quite unusual. When I took the boot off and looked inside, I could see why they were so tight there.... its the way they manufactured the tongue. (See pics...) I don't know how to describe it but the leather tongue loops on the inside, creating a bulge that is very uncomfortable and is noticeable from the outside too.

Can you say RETURN??
