A bit wider on the sides and added arch supports for my collapsed arches.

My first lace to toe boots. This is the first time I'm able to cinch the entire boot as tight or as loose as I want for the entire boot. The arch supports gently touch my arches without pressure and are very comfortable. Willie has done this for my other boots and when I wear in the insole a bit, the arch support gets better. Also my first lace up 10inch boots. It was a bit uncomfortable for the first couple days. But I'm getting used to it now.

This will be my fifth pair by Willie. And I now consider him a friend. I hang around the shop all the time and talk boots and leathers with Willie. For this pair, we took time to decide every detail. My experience with ordering this pair has to be my favorite so far.
