Boots available in the "Wide" variety?

[WildBlue]

I am searching out new boots for riding, and the size 11 Teknics I ordered are way too narrow and they do not offer "wide" sizes...

Does anyone know of a boot company that sells wide sizes in boots?

Red Wing makes mostly work related shoes and boots but they do have a few motorcycle specific boots that come in extra wide sizes.

I take a 12 EEE shoe and one of the local MC shops had the Redwing 979 in 12 EE which I'm finding quite comfortable.

I'm still looking for a taller, pull-on, boot, but so luck so far.

Perhaps like you, I spent a lot of time/effort looking for boots that fit me, not some idealized model. Seemed like all the Euro boot makers only use a couple of lasts for shoe making, and none of them fit me. Tried ALL of the Euro brands to no avail.

Like others here I broadened my search, looking at Redwing, Chippewa, and others. Finally found the perfect fit for my hooves, and though my new Danner's aren't motorcycle specific, they fit nicely and are very comfortable to wear for extended periods. I also have a rather old pair of Justin cowboy "work" boots for when I want a pull on type boot. Those Justins came from a western wear store and have vibram brand soles for good grip on slick oily spots at stop lights. The Danner's have a reinforced toe box, the Justin's are just normal, so no armor like moto-boots if that's what you really need...

In short, guess my advice is to look past motorcycle specific gear. A lot of options out there....

Good Luck!

Same here. Can not find a m/c boot in wide. I went with a LL Bean gore tech boot in a wide size. I cut some of the tread off the bottom of the boot to make them work well as a m/c boot. The tread was quite aggressive!
