Okay, this is probably a newbie question, but I'm still struggling with my boot saga. It seems that the Lange WC 120 boots I recently bought are too big. Again. Other than the store I'm working with now, there isn't a single store in my area that carries a boot in my size. I went back to the store where I purchased the boots to explore my options. My salesperson was so exasperated with my feet after an hour and a half that he left to find sole inserts for my boots and just never came back. I left the store in tears and am now convinced that there is no boot out there that is a fit.
Sooo....that leads me to the question above. I understand that you can never make a too large boot smaller, but can someone please explain why? Why will creating a piece to fit inside the toe of the shell not work to keep the foot from sliding around? Why can't a custom liner with a padded toe piece not overcome large boot issues?
My husband thinks that making a toe piece will fix my boot, which otherwise fits very well.
My bootfitter is convinced that creating a custom liner is the only way to make an adult boot of any kind fit my foot.
I know that both are discouraged, but I don't know why! Please give me some ammo!
