Thread: Correctly fitting boots

Hi all.
I'm hoping someone else has difficult feet to shop for and may have advice for me. The top of my foot is quite high so my feet slide deeper into the boots when walking downhill.

Each of the boots I've brought lately are a great fit in store with about 20mm free room in the toe, while still nice and snug around the rest of the foot. I've tried trail shoes and 3 different ankle high boots with the same results & I usually end up loosing 2-3 toenails each trip from the nails touching the boot & flexing so much they get blisters under the nails. It's getting expensive and starting to restrict my walking, not to mention painful.

Ankle high boots are my preference as I only do Great Walks and other tramping nowadays, Would High top boots help by securing my ankle in place better or could I get away with trying to find something with more room in the toes (already wearing size 13), if so are there any brands that have worked for you that I should look at first.
Alan.
