Durango Lady Rebel Pro Women's Ventilated Olive Western Boot

These boots are an impressive, attractive, and well made ventilated design, however, the level of snug is too much at the intake thereby making it impossible for me to wear even the thinnest smartwool sock. Therefore, I had to return them and the size 7 would be too long since these have more space at the toe on my 9 and 1/4 inch length foot already. I was really hoping they would fit and that I could wear a thin wool sock with them.
