Steve, Thanks for the comments. I talked to REI on the phone this morning
and the boot guy said to try a progressively tighter lacing, looser (sic?) 
across the foot and tighter up the ankle. He said to wear them around for
a couple of days and I was wasn't happy they would certainly take them
back...their liberal return policy and all.

Problem is they don't really have any other boot I want so I would have to
go the mail order route and I don't like that option for boots. I wish I
had smaller, more normal, feet. The clerk said people who need boots in
size 13 and up tend to be harder to fit. Can't imagine why...

Later,
Milt
