Cobb HillWomen's Winter Center Zip Ankle Boot

I got the taupe color in 8.5W for my mostly 8.5, but sometimes 8, wide-ish feet, and they are too big. I have wide toes, narrow heels, and thin ankles. While these are 1/2 size too big, they are made for my feet/legs. So, if you have wide toes, narrow heels, flat feet and thin ankles, get the wides and consider going down by a 1/2 size (or go down if you are between sizes). These are really well made and have a lot of structure/padding on the bottom. These will be great for the office in the winter--with pants.

These being sold as "wide" is laughable - honestly I think they're narrower than medium width. And definitely not for those of us with high arches - I can't zip them up at all. Not even a little bit. Design fail. Finding zip up ankle boots with traction and a lowish heel that are actually wide has been much harder than I anticipated. Thank goodness that I finally found the Rockport Women's Ryleigh Gore Chelsea Waterproof Boot, which ticks all of the boxes for me.

The top rubs the leg/ankle making the boot uncomfortable. The leather is too stiff.

I have been having pain in my left foot for the last 6 months. The only shoes that really have been comfortable are my Brooks running shoes which I can wear without pain. I was so excited to find this boot because it doesn't cause pain in my left foot either and I now have a non-sneaker option is stylish and comfortable. The center zip design makes these easier to slip on versus boots with a side zip or no zip. I highly recommend this Cobb Hill boot!
