Industrial Srength Barrel Racer Posts: 7268	Anybody have a solution for this? It's right where the piping is on the ankle. Boots are comfortable besides that, but they seem to fold in there and bite the crap out of my ankle. Thanks in advance!

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I work at a western store. Sometimes where the seams all meet up they will fold in a little. We have a long pinchers that we can work the leather and smooth those seams out. I would check with the store you bought them from.

Industrial Srength Barrel Racer Posts: 7268	Thanks for all the info. They are used because I coudn't stand the last 3 NEW pairs I bought, I was hoping by them being already worn, they might be doable. I just about can't stand western boots anymore. Love the looks of them but horribly uncomfortable!

I honestly think I'm going to place an ad for used boots. It's less painful to take a $50 pair to Goodwill than a $200 pair!

I always wanted some Luccheses until I tried some on. The pair I tried on were NOT comfortable at all. I think I'll stick to my tennis shoes and change into boots right before a run. Here's the Luccheses I wanted: https://www.lucchese.com/shop/boots/amberlyn/M5802.TWF
