I own 4 pairs of Lane boots prior to buying this pair. All of them are a size 6.5. I have never had a problem with consistent fit in this brand of boot...until this pair. Lane boots are handmade and can fluctuate slightly. I love the way these boots look, however, for some reason, the left boot of this pair fits like it is an entire size smaller than the right one when putting it on. The boot is fine once I force my foot through the barrel into the footbed of the left boot.
The right one is fine. None of my other Lane boots fit like this. I'm going to take the boots to a leather shop and see if I can have the left boot stretched. I probably should have sent them back. I love them, but I am out of breath by the time I force my left foot onto the boot!
