Hard to get on - Oboz Moonlight Insulated BDry Winter Boot - Women's

I was initially excited to get these boots in the mail. They look great & quality good. I was looking forward to pulling them on for trips to the mailbox, being outside when not needing tall & very warm Winter boots. I was very disappointed. The elastic side gussets have very little give. I bought a size larger than usual to help getting them on. Nope, it didn’t work. Not only could I not get them on with medium weight socks but struggled & struggled with lightweight socks. Once they were on they felt ok but I don’t need to fight with boots & not be able to wear appropriate socks. A larger size would be waaay too big in the foot. Maybe if they had a zipper instead of elastic that hardly stretches, they’d work. They’re going back.
