Really narrow ankles! - Vasque Lost 40 UltraDry Winter Boot - Women's

I absolutely loved these boots! However, after reading the other reviews about the very narrow ankle of this boot, I ordered a whole size up. I have a more athletic build with a larger calf and I actually had to sit down to even get these on or off because it was so difficult. They are very warm and beautiful, but I ultimately sent them back because I had such a hard time even getting them on
