These boots fit beautifully at first and look really nice, but after a couple of hours they cause severe pain on top of my instep.  I'm hoping that with time they will loosen as Peltz. com will not allow a return after they have been worn.  I don't really have a problem with that policy, but there was no way of knowing the problem without wearing them for several hours.  I would only recommend these boots with caution.  Normally, I absolutely love Born products.
