I want to speak with the seller or the manufacturer.  This item came in medium width only, and it is tight.  I think the construction and concept are excellent.  I have repeatedly tried to contact the manufacturer without success to find whether I should expect it to expand in width with wear, in which case I'd keep it.  Amazon doesn't have a link and I feel out in the cold.  I hope sending this will help establish fruitful contact. If not, I'll reluctantly return the boots.

This doesn't reflect in any way on the quality of the product, which from what I can tell is pretty good for the price.
