Hello all. My first post here and one reason I decided to join in is my need for new boots. I have begun the research.
Living in Indiana, with limited access to good boot shops, I have a very difficult time finding boots to fit my size 5 foot. Kids boots have been mentioned by some people, but I don't want to waste money on boots that are not what I need or that won't last.
Although I am a very small person my calves are low and on the thick side, so I need a boot that will fit or can be adjusted to fit my calves. My heels are narrow and toe area is relatively wide. On top of that, due to some major health issues in the past 5 years, I know my feet have changed from when I bought my last boots.
Anyone with small feet, who has some suggestions or experience with recent boot fitting and buying, I welcome all input, please!
My current boots are 11 yr. old Solomons. I bought them in Tahoe, had them fitted and footbeds made. They are packed out, some recent, simple, cheap adjustments have been made, but they are beyond help. They have served me well and will have to do until the end of this season. I have no plans to go to the mountains for a ski trip, unless I take a trip to Oregon to visit my brother.
Forgive the long post please. Thanks for any input.
