Hi Georgina, Our ladies safety boots are designed on a ladies last (a type of mould that shoes are made on) to ensure that our women’s boots have been built with a narrower forepart tread width and narrower joint girth, shorter ankle-length, and reduced in-step/arch. Our ladies last is an overall narrower fit than our men’s last and we have specifically designed our ladies boots to fit the majority of women’s feet.
We’re sorry to hear that these are not quite suitable for you. A good quality, thick work sock could help improve the fit.
