A pair of Loake Thirsk just arrived in the mail. They didn't have my size/model in store at the time so I tried on a different pair. I found the right size for that pair and was assured this model would feel the same. But first impressions for the Thirsks is that while feeling roughly the same in the toe area, fairly snug, the boot as a whole feels much too roomy around the heel and ankle. My feet sort of lifts off the sole when I walk.
My first thought is to return them for a half size smaller to so as to get a pair that feels more snug around my ankles and and then suffer whilst I break in the toe area, or just kind of... get used to the ones I have now.
