I had to set the couch on the boot toes to hold them down once........yep, sure did HAHA
If you're flexible you can just wiggle and wiggle and wiggle some more til they come loose too.

i take it you have no one else around haha?

I am having these visions of you showering, sleeping, and otherwise living in your boots because you cant get them off......

Hope you can sort something out

I took my boots to a shoe repair shop. they put in a zipper for $30 I think. Saddle shops can usually do it too. Any leather repair-type person should be able to.

well you put a towel or blanket over your toe first

hahahah

I had the same problem. Bought a brand new pair of boots and they arrived when I was home alone. I got them ON, but then realized they were really tight. I had them on for 4 hours before I was finally able to basically just freak out and wiggle them off. HAHA I was starting to lose feeling in my feeet and didn't want to cut them hahaha

As long as they're not cutting off circulation, its good to have them on cuz they're getting broke in

Tall boots sure are stinkers,,thats for sure!
