Boots for extra wide feet?

[Malta899]

I wear a 13 4e and the crispi seems to be the best so far. Irish setter runs wide but don’t last forever. Believe it or not under armor boots treated me pretty good and are some of the widest I’ve tried. If they still made the Uninsulated browtine I’d buy another pair to replace the pair I burnt through. Before I found crispi that was my go to boot.

There are plenty of really good boot makers out there. But everyone's foot is different. The few times I've spent lots on "high end" boots, the best my feet felt was the day I walked barefoot to tossed those overpriced things in the garbage can. I've tossed a few $500 boots in the trash after arguing with customer service. I gave up and just buy cheap every single year.

It's a me issue. I have a very wide and short foot. Does anyone have recommendations? At this point I've given up and just order wide Danners every year, wear them for a year, toss them. But this year was super wet... 5 days of wet blown out boots and wet feet. Anyone have a similar issue? Recommendations? As you can see from photos I bought "wide'' and still blew out both sides.

He’s awesome and has helped me work to a couple good options. I am in a similar boat and I wore Merrells because they fit my feet but got tired of them leaking and breaking down before a year.

Currently I am in Vasque Canyon Breeze that I very much like and Oboz Yellowstones for heavier duty work.

So sometimes you have to sacrifice weight for size. I wear Irish Setter Elk Tracker 16H. They are heavy but are comfortable and only boot so far I have found for 15 5E needs. H width is rare and they had it. They are holding up pretty well. IDK if still offered?

I went with Crispi boots this time as well. 11 EE is my size and these seem a to fit the bill. I feel your pain on the wide foot. You may want to try a custom pair of White's boots out of Spokane. I've heard they build them to your foot, might be worth a call to them.

Soooo... one of the boots I referenced in the "best my feet felt was barefoot tossing them in the trash..." was a pair of White's. Second pair was Hawthorns which is their secondary brand. Both were probably the best made pair of high quality boots that ate my feet alive. They are damn high quality boots but kill my feet.

As far as quality goes they were well built to abuse and in perfectly working condition when I tossed them after 2 years of trying. They just didn't fit my feet.

I absolutely love my crispis..9 EE.

The reason I'm asking is I've tried a lot of brands... they all happily say, "oh our boots will be the best ever! Just try them! Full return!''

I buy and wear for 3 months. Good break in period. Still hurt or blown out.

"Well it's beyond our warranty period...."

They’re on the budget side and they don’t have the best durability, but I’ve generally been happy with Merrell wide boots. I’m probably a 3E width. Most 2E’s are fine, but some aren’t and some 4E’s are too wide and some are great. Merrell’s have always fit. Jim Green boots are supposed to be pretty good and their JG last is 3E.
