[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 396577, member: 10982"] This is a wonderful example of a boot where the lacing hasn't been tightened properly. It is not about the boot not working, but rather that it isn't being worn properly. The top cuff of the boot should be tightened around the ankle so that it is a snug fit. In response to the OP, you might find that, as [USER=1743]@alipilgrim[/USER] noted in an earlier post, and also provided a wonderful example of just that in her later post. When I had similar problems with chafing at the ankles, I switched to using a lock lacing method. (See [URL]http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/locklacing.htm[/URL] for an explanation of this.) Using this gives the additional leverage when tightening my boots needed to create a really snug fit around the ankle. As a result, the ankle is much better supported, has less movement in the top of the boot, and this resolved the chafing I was getting. [/QUOTE]
