rocky boots
OK guys there is big boot store about the size of a normal walmart down the road.
I went there today to find a camo boot.
The guy said he wanted to measure my foot that he did not think i was a 15 4e .
He asked to see my shoe. He said that new balance is made in china and they make two size d and 4e he said the d and 4e are the same shoe with a different label. and that these boot were size right.
I tryed a 15 2e on one foot and a 15 4e on the other the 15 2e was alittle tight but fit ok the only problem i had was getting it on since it is waterproof the tongue is sawn to the shoe all the way up.
So i told him Friday i would come back and get the 2e
What worries me is if the shoe is tight what will it be like with a heavy sock on. what do youthink
the 4e was alittle loose but not much.

RE: rocky boots
get the one that was a little loose....if ur boot is too tight with heavy socks on, it actually makes ur feet colder because blood circulation is cut off and the boot doesnt have room to create a little pocket of warm air

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...

RE: rocky boots
the best thing to do is to try the shoe on with a sock that is similar to the one you will wear. In my experience of being a shoe salesman.....go with the bigger one if you cannot try it on with the sock. The 2e will stretch a little, but may not be enough
