After having these boots on for the first few times my legs began to hurt.  The top of the boot is so narrow it makes it very difficult to get your foot into the boot.  The narrow top constricted my ankles so much that they left an indentation in my lower shin on both my legs.  I have cut the fabric to make it wider and relieve the edge from cutting into my leg.  I have yet to wear them since I made the cut.
