Schnee Beartooth boots wide enough?

[Osceola]

Living in the Midwest, certain brands of boots are not to be found including the Beartooth boot. I have a very wide front toe area and I heard even ordering a wide they still run tight.

If you have really wide feet you understand my dilemma. When you can find really wide fronts quite often they’ve made the heel too wide.

Any firsthand experience with the Beartooth boots as far as my question is concerned?

Any recommendations for a quality boot that tends to run wider than most?

I wear a standard width in the Beartooth and frequently need a wide in other brands. Schnee's has probably one of the very best customer service departments I've ever worked with. If you're interested in the boots I'd give them a call and talk to them directly. It might cost you some on shipping, but I'd be willing to bet they would work with you to get the right boot and return it if needed.

I tried them in the wides, still not enough for me. . They do have excellent customer service so worth a try.

That seems to be what I’ve been hearing from my research. I’m going to give them a call today and discuss my concerns.

Gave them a call. Went well and ordered two different sizes to try out.

Sounds like you're going to find out for yourself, but maybe this helps someone else.

I think it depends where your feet are wide. Mine are wide at the ball of my feet and their wides fit me well. I think the comments you've heard are due to the way they round in at the toe. I've got a pair in 10.5W that fit and have been awesome, but they can pinch a bit in the toe box on steep downhills. I just got a pair of 11W in the 200g version that seem like they might be a bit better.

I wear brooks adrenalins in 10.5W for reference.

I might be in luck and hoping so. My foot structure is like yours. Wider across the ball of my foot area than my toes. Not a lot but a little. Ordered the Granite 200 mg as their recommendation.

I have a wide, flat foot to preface this. When searching for a boot I did order a pair of Beartooth’s in wide from Schnee’s to ship to my house. Unfortunately, they were still too narrow so I had to send them back. I ultimately went with Crispi’s in wide and they are perfect.

Good luck.

Which Crispi did you go with?

 

[RadDad]

Nevadas. Got size 10EE and they’re perfect. I’ve put literally hundreds of miles on them and never thought twice about my feet. When these finally give in, I’ll buy another pair without hesitation.

 

[Thinkingman]

I have a wide forefoot, high arch.
Normal size is an 8W.
Zamberlans on the wide last have been great for me.
Another consideration is uninsulated boots seem to fit wider.

 

[TradArcher]

Scarpa Zodiac which is likely too stiff for the Midwest but you might still like them. But Scarpa has softer sole boots too for hiking and has a wide toebox yet normal to small heel. They are like foot gloves for me once broken in.

 

[PoniBoy]

I have a wide’ish flat foot and the Beartooths have worked perfect for me. Also, the most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned with almost zero breaking in period. Schnee is a great company to work with from a customer service aspect as well. I’d give them a shout and talk through what you’re needing. Good luck!

Beartooths are great boots. Not sure about the width but I do know my feet are borderline wide and I have ordered a kenetrek wide in mt extreme and it was too wide for me so that might work. It felt like a much boot to me it was so wide

 

[Agross]

Gave them a call. Went well and ordered two different sizes to try out.

How did it go?

 

[Ganderzone]

I tried wide Beartooths and still not wide enough, tried a pair of meindls and they are great. Both are good options but if you have a legitimate wide foot, try the meindls.

 

[Agross]

Meindl are the only boots I’ve tried that I really like.

 

[cole96]

I’ve got the beartooths and have this exact problem. They’re great boots, but my foot is too wide and they are crammed. Contact James with lathrop and sons and do the foot mapping

 

[Osceola]

How did it go?

I ordered two different sizes but they were way too narrow. I ended up getting a pair from Kenetrek and they’re great. Mountain Extreme

I have 10.5 EEE feet and my big to is shorter than middle one so kinda looks like Fred flintstone clubs. Crispi Nevada wides and kenetrek wide fit me just fine in an 11. I tried on a pair of schnee beartooths in 11 and the width at the ball of the foot was ok but the toe box got too narrow for me. Looked like good boots otherwise.
