White's Boots
-
Wow, its hard to say, but for sure follow their advice and wear them awhile - if you've never had a shoe with a pronounced arch (most people haven't) they will feel different, maybe your arches will ache a bit at first. But it should resolve quickly. And your toes def. shouldn't touch the ends of the boots, but it sounds like they could possibly be a bit too long. You could try an insole, or even heavy socks.
What size shoes/boots do you normally wear? A lot of folks say go a 1/2 size down from what you usually wear, and that was the case for me. So if you normally wear a 10,and these are a 10, they could be a bit too long.

Take my post with a grain of salt as the feeling of a "perfect fit" is completely subjective, dependent on one's own personal feel but fwiw, my two cents are that whites should fit snug in the heel (literally cupped in type feel), the arch will fall into place right on the arches, and you'll have plenty of room in the toe. I do have the ability to "slide" forward in mine when not laced up, but the arch and lacing up should stop this from happening. I have about a thumb's width from the toe of the boot to my actual toe inside and they fit like a dream.

As aho describes is exactly how my White's fit, and I thought they were the most comfortable boots I've owned.
