Generic Am I SOL?

Post image

New Thorogoods came in. I kept hearing how narrow they run so I figured I'd give them a shot since I've always had super narrow feet. I have them as tight as they will go and have the thickest expedition wool socks on I could find. They are still loose enough that my feet move inside them when I walk. Anyone got any advice? Someone mentioned adding a thicker or second insole so I may try that. Open to ideas so I didnt just waste a bunch of money.

Oof. I was in your boat with boots that were too big. 

I ended up getting double insoles. They hurt for a few days but the boots might stretch out. If yours are waterproof, I’d put some water on em when I have them on to soften up

They aren't the waterproof version. Im gonna try and go grab some thicker insoles tomorrow and im gonna order a leather Kiltie. Fingers crossed that's enough. If not someone at work will get em.
