Hi everyone, first post of many.
So I bought a pair of Hanwag Tatras earlier this year to replace the excellent Hanwag Limas that had finally given up the ghost. I'd tried a pair of the tatras on and they seemed slightly too tight on my right little toe. Being nubuck, I thought they'd give a bit and turn into the perfect boot, molding to my foot eventually. However, I'd read a bit about this and feared this tightness would not give and could cause me problems later on so I decided I'd leave it. Anyway, Hanwag do a wide version of this boot so bought this one thinking all of my problems were solved! I've worn these boots quite a bit now and have only really been on a couple of strenuous hikes in them and they've been, for the most part, fine. However, if I'm descending I can feel my right foot (the narrower one) slide about a bit and if I'm carrying a heavy pack I can go over on my ankle, not causing injury, but it happens.
I'm off to India in the summer trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas with my school (I'm a teacher, not a child) and I'm concerned I'll injure myself. I've bought special insoles for them which have worked to some extent, but I was hoping for any other advice before I very, very reluctantly sell and replace them...
