There were three things a wife should not buy for her husband . . . guns, scopes and knives. Now there are "Boots". Poor or improperly fitted boots can spell disaster in many ways. Try Danner on the internet. Some of their boots can be had in "B" width and after that up to 4E. "Cheap" does not imply quality, fit nor comfort IMO. Even the best boots not properly broken in can also spell disaster.
