When I searched for new boots for my extra wide feet, I was pleased to find the Propet Amalthea boot in an 8 1/2 4E with great reviews.  I promptly purchased them and waited on pins and needles for them to arrive.  Looking them over once I had them in my hands, I could see that the boots themselves are well made and appeared to live up to all the good things I had read about them.  Unfortuately, once I had my foot in the boots themselves, I found that I was unable to zip them up.  It appears that my ankles are too thick for them.  Having such wide feet I had anticipated that getting the 4Es would also mean that the boots would be wider all around.  No such luck.  I can say that the return and credit process was easy and painless.  Now, if I can only find boots for wide feet and equally wide ankles (!).
