RE: rocky boots
I'm a EEE myself...My whole life (I'll be 53 in August) shoe salesmen have tried to cram my foot into a shoe that doesn't fit...
Don't throw your money away, buy them too big, never too small, socks are cheap...
I wear 2 pairs of socks anyway, this keeps your feet from blistering, I learned that when I played football, holds true with boots as well...
