Does anyone else have a problem getting winter boots on due to arthritic hand and fingers?

If you do what makes it easier for you?

    I also had to buy a bigger size and went for a baggy pull on style.

    I have just ordered some boots and as i have wide siz 8 it has been a challenge, firstly to find some i actually like and second that fit well.

    Zip down the side helps amd softer leather to be able to pull on. Other than that no idea.
    How u doing Pinky?? :smile:

    Try Ev*ns or Viva la d*va as they do wider leg sizes . I find ankle boots work for me . Jillyb

    Hi, I actually bought a pair of low ankle boots last year and was overwhelmed when they fit. I have to use a zip pull and they are a size bigger but as i am sat down all the time I am not going to fall over.

    They are were from a shopping outlet that sell extra wide fit varieties.

    I hope you can find some too.
