Boot fit, Hanwag Alverstone

[ScottSN]

I have a wide forefoot but narrow heel. Comments or review on the Hanwag Alverstone wide GTX?

The toe box is narrow. Great boot if you have narrow ish feet. I got a half size up and wide, they work but are still to narrow in the toe to call ideal.

I have the same problem plus 4e width and high volume. Lathrop and Sons took good care of me with my boot issue. I can go to REI and can't even get my feet all the way in the boots they sell there.

Sounds good. There is an REI close. I’ll check them out.

I use them for my sturdy boot. My other footwear is vivo esc magnas and deacons, Inov8, and Altra.

Good info, thanks.
I’ll search for a pair to try on.

I think the wide alverstone is 50% off at Hanwags right now. What I like about it is that I gives me steep country support the others don't, but the breakup of leather below the ankle knob makes it non-skiboot and more athletic.

That’s a hefty discount. I’ll check on return policy. Thanks

I’ve also got a narrow heel compared to my forefoot. The wide alverstones fit me like a glove and I’ve never had my heel slip.

Did you order some?

I haven’t yet.

I haven’t yet.

Bummer! I snagged a backup pair from that sale and they arrived the next business day.

 

[ScottSN]

I see they are back to regular price. Guess I made a mistake in not ordering them. I was too conservative in my process.

1 shot has them for $210. No idea what their return policy is though.

Alverstone II Wide GTX

The Alverstone II Wide GTX is designed to provide a lightweight, yet sturdy fit for challenging terrain. The Wide Last version for broader feet provides more room at the forefoot and ball of the foot.

Similar foot myself. It’s one of the better fitting boots for my heel and arch (medium). My feet are slightly wide and can wear a 12-12.5 in a soft shoe but I up size for stiffer boots. A 13 regular in these fits well. I think gohunt and black ovis had the most stock otherwise just google them in the size you’re looking for and you’ll probably find it somewhere.

There’s other boots out there but two things stand out to me with these. They’re fairly lightweight for a robust boot. The upper portion is very flexible against the ankle.

How you describe it are the features I am looking for. Thanks

I am normally a 10.5 med width in most boots. First tried Alverstone II in this size and it was way to narrow. Had to go up to 11 wide for it to fit my foot. Like this boot a lot, especially the lacing lock down system.
