Wide Fit mountaineering boots

[TheWhitetailNut]

Hi all,

What do people suggest as wide fitting mountaineering boots.

I’m keen on something with a very stiff sole.

I purchased a pair of La Sportiva Nepal Cubes but they are too narrow for me. I just burnt out my Scarpa Mont blancs but it did take a lot of wear for them to not give me a lot of grief on my pinky toe.

I’m thinking maybe Lowa Alpine experts or Scarpa Grand dru’s but I’m keen for other suggestions

Cheers

Crispi

Lathrop and Sons Mountain Hunter wide is far wider than the Lowa Tibet wide

Crrispi for my EEE width feet and I can select a lighter 2 flex model (Lapponia II) for around town and stiffer 3 Flex model for hunting (Guide GTX). I like that they rate their boots on flex. Not real mountaineering boots but super comfortable

Figured they’d have to be amongst the wider models out there. But looking back, seems op is looking for something strictly alpine.

Lathrop doesn’t publish a stiffness rating, subjectively compared to the Beartooth it is stiffer, has a full length shank, is not designed for crampons and is not a double boot. If those are the criteria for an alpine boot then refer to it as a mountaineering boot. Have not found anything in Lowas or La Sportivas lines that iis wide enough for me. Crispi or Kenetrek perhaps

Crispi and Lathrop and Sons are both nice wides. Schnees aren't bad either.
