I am a huge MBT fan and have been very disappointed in these boots. I wonder if they are even real MBTs???

I bought them over the summer, when they were on sale, and am only trying them on now--they do zip up, but as others have noted, the toe box is narrower than on other MBTs I've owned.

The leather doesn't feel as nice, either -- it rubs on the ankles. If I had saved the box, I'd be returning these but it's too late now....sigh.

It's true that I have wide feet, but this is my sixth pair of MBTs and it's never been a problem before. Maybe these will become more comfortable as the leather gives, but all my other MBTs have been super comfortable as soon as I put them on.

If you can try these on before you buy them, I would.
