It Is there anything you don't know about (g)?! I have a couple of pairs of men's workboots that I was able to find in a size 6 (I take a women's 8), and they fit like a glove. However, you are totally correct about size 6's being impossible to find. These boots are actually hand-me-downs from my 2 sons from when they were younger. I've tried finding sneakers in size 6, but no go. Most men's shoes start at 7 at the least, and some no smaller than 8. Bummer! I didn't even ask about the Ariats coming in size 6, mens. That might have made the difference in that too tight, combat boot feel. I'll check at the tack shop next time 'round. I find I have the same problem with shoes as I have with clothes...I'm just a little "wider" than the average woman (VBG)! I do buy men's jeans, t-shirts, etc. I like being able to select the waist size and leg length in the jeans. And the t-shirts seem to be cut a little broader across the shoulder and are longer than most women's sizes. And, of course, (curse clothing makers!) they are more rugged and last much longer.

It depends on how -> much the bootmakers have changed the last between the men's and the omen's -> sizes, and how close your feet are to the shape of the last. If a woman has -> relatively narrow feet, it will be difficult for her to find a man's boot -> that will be the right width. -> Sorry you suggested it yet? ;-) Naaaa... I still think it would be woth the time to try them on and see if they fit. If not you have only lost a little bit of time and maybe you have better pair of boots out of it. --- PCBoard (R) v15.3/M 2 * Origin: Home of Malla, the spoiled Norwegian Fjord (1:2613/128) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E5S00013 Date: 05/21/97 From: JEAN PROPHET Time: 06:53am \/To: MIKE MAY (Read 0 times) Subj: ??? >-> Vicki's messages were the first I'd seen for a long time.
