There's something I just don't understand: shoes that require breaking in (and people buying and making them). Yes, I know, once they are broken in, they are supposedly very comfortable and great.

а, у нас есть ботинки (и лыжи). Никак с ними проблема не решается -- только и остается, что чертыхаться. В последние пару лет к этому еще добавилась проблема что ноги у меня стали быстро мерзнуть (а раньше совсем не мерзли), поэтому хочется одеть еще один носок или подложить что-то в ботинки, но они плотно сидят, потому что когда мы покупали, нам сказали, что так лучше for control (наверное так и есть).

Чуть ли не самое большое удовольствие от катания -- снять ботинки после :)

да, для разнашивания надо большие покупать? Ну будем надеяться, что это правда -- я вчера купила большущие snow boots :)

Well, rich aristocracy used to have special people who would break the boots for them in :)

Yes, that's pretty much the case.

I have wide flat feet and most of the "work" type shoes I can wear with skirt suits (i.e. pumps) require "breaking in". And it's true--most of them end up being reasonably comfortable at the end.

I know, but I just can't deal with that break-in period. So I end up with almost new shoes I don't wear and eventually donate.

I found the shoe brands that don't need "breaking in" (well, for my feet, anyway), and I stick with them. So keep searching! Somewhere, there's a show (or a boot) that you'd love from day 1 ;)

I know, believe me. I found the brand that just works from day 1 and is amazing. They make boots, but not snow boots, unfortunately.
