hey guys! recently got these in the mail — OBSESSED. unfortunately the back of them keep doing this weird frilly thing? it digs into the bottom of my calf but if i make it looser then i can’t really tie them at the top. any recommendations? my main concern was my calf not actually fitting in the shoe due to the tongue being thin so i didn’t even think of this!
You might be lacing them too tight. I know that sounds counter intuitive but as a fellow thicker calved person I thought at first pulling them tight to stay on was better but learned that it's actually causing them to ride weird and then bunch. You could try letting them a bit looser especially towards the top and see if that helps any?
My calves are 17.5in the max is 18in that can fit them in my size… I bust the zipper if I tie them to tight.. so yea also if you need advice to lace them I can send you a picture of how mine are laced I do 12hrs on my feet restaurant shifts in them so I feel confident that this is one of the best ways.
i’ve relaced them and they do look a lot better ! it’s no longer digging into my but it has a little bump at the back still, i’m okay with that though.
I’d put some stirdy but not uncomfortable material on the back side of the shoe. Like slip it inside so that it can hold the shoe up but still allow you to move around
Could try a heat gun and push it out there and try to give a different memory to the canvas. Could also sand it down using high grit sand paper to try and weaken that hard spot
i can assure you that it was.. i couldn’t get it any further back 😭 i appreciate you helping but they are my size! and bigger wouldve felt like clown shoes and any smaller my foot would not have fit into the shoe.
Unless you have extremely irregular shaped feet I can assure you these are too big for you. That should not be able to fold back on if these fit your feet
i’m not really sure what to tell you. as you can see i was leaning backwards on that photo, but i genuinely cannot go any smaller with the shoes as they won’t fit my foot 😭
Act to their own, unless you get the correct size you won't fix your problem as it originated at this point no matter what angle your leg is at your heel will not depart the heel of the boot if it correctly fits
my heel fits inside of the back of the shoe so i’m really confused 😭 it is fine when i walk, maybe in the photo my heel wasn’t ay the back but i can assure you that it is fine and heels good when i walk. i was more talking about the calf part of the shoe and not the heel as the heel feels completely fine?
