A question for those of you who have bought DUO BOOTS...

How did you find the width fitting of the boots (across the foot not the calf!) I have quite wide feet. I actually do have some duo boots and they are fine but they are very soft so they have stretched a bit across the foot, the ones I am looking at to buy don't look very soft. Postage is £6.95 ish and you have to pay for returns so I don't want to order them and then find they don't fit .
Any words of wisdom from duo boot owners?

WooLLen (I misspelled, sorry, should be two Ls not one); to be entirely accurate, a sheepskin insole from the Celtic Sheepskin Company.

They are fab, aren't they! When I mentioned them to dh he said (after I commented my last boots have got me through 3 winters) "well if they get you through 3 winters then they are definitely worth it" - I knew there was a reason I love him

dances, trippen are really good too. i've got a lovely pair, order with scooped out sole for more space inside boot. german postage fearsomely efficient too.

oh and my sister has met hugh j twice, he is even lovelier than you might hope.

I would call them, or go for a fitting I am afraid. I love those boots btw.
I have the Jerez from last year and they are quite big all over, but I ordered the same size shoe (39) in two different styles when they had the sale on and they were too small .
I have been brave and ordered the Bologna as I am no where near a fitting room. Part of me wants them to fit to love them and keep them and part hopes they don't so I don't spend the money and get annoyed at wasting all that postage money again and stop trying to get boots that fit my skinny calves......
Anyway , hope you get them and love them.
