Winica Waterproof Leather Chelsea Boot (Women)

I wear a size 7 and have a narrow foot. I was surprised at how snug the boot was across the ball of my foot, but hoped it would stretch with time. I opted to keep them and wore them once, just this week. After about 30 minutes, I realized they were completely uncomfortable, just from driving, and got bad blisters on my heels! I had worn thicker socks as well to help with that. Also, the loop to pull the shoe on and off is way too small to be functional for this boot style. I had bought these for an upcoming trip to Scotland and am so disappointed. I have bought Hunter before and never had an issue like this.
