Hunting Boots for Short Wide Feet

[n91c]

I have size 8 feet but they are wide or extra wide depending on brands. Looking for a premium boot. What are some that have worked for you? I had a pair crispi Idaho II, but I bought in 10s to compensate for the width. I ended up with blisters from sliding. Decided to bite the bullet and get what is correct. What do you recommend?

Do the Lathrop & Sons foot mapping consultation and custom foot beds. During the process they will recommend which boots are your best options (even if that isn't one of the L&S boots). It's well worth it.

Jim Green boots (a South African company that outfits rangers over there) have extra wide toe boxes on them. Hard to just recommend a brand though unless you are able to try them on before buying.

I second this. I love these boots. Have 2 pair

I am size 8.5 Triple E Wide.

Elk Stalkers are what I wear and I very much like them.

Cheers

L&S sent me multiple boots to try on before I decided on the one that fit best. It was very helpful.

There are dozens of us!

I like Meindl’s. They make a series of boots on a wide last. They ended up being a bit too wide for me so I use a boot with their regular last. They also advise to go down 1/2 size. I stayed the same size from my everyday wear and they are a bit long but give me the toe box I need. My problem is that my 2nd and 3rd toe are as long as my big toe. Most boots rub that third toe really bad so I need extra width there or a 1/2 size larger.
