Helvetico Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I've got WIDE feet: US men's 9EEE. The only softboots I've found that fit are Salomon wides. Can I find the equivalent in a hardboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 You could try to find a pair of burton's. They're the widest i know, but they're longer for a same size shoe then deeluxe or ups. Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Just go to a good bootfitter - I have Raichles (which I have been told were very narrow) and pretty wide feet, and the guys @ Starting Gate fixed 'em right up. According to the Carver's Almanac, Heads are a little wider than Raichles, and UPZ are a little wider than Heads - but there seem to be some conversations going on about the quality of UPZ design.

skidad62 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have EEE wide feet & 20 inch calves - I previously had to do MAJOR bootwork in all skiboots & also my Burton hardboots... but last year I shifted over to Deeluxe hardboots with the Thermofit liners and they worked fantastic imediately - awesome fit!

Guest owaysys Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 yep. try some raichle's with thermoflex liners. i have EE feet and a had a pair of Burton Fire boots that absolutely killed my feet. got the thermoflexes and they fit like a glove. Also, the Raichle Indy's and Suzuka's have removalble spoilers on the back of the cuff that would probably give your calf more room if you need it.

kamran Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 definitely HEADS,.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sierra Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I got fitted at the Starting Gate and it was clear that I had no chance of fitting in anything that Raichle makes. I ended up in Heads and have had no problems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinsmiley Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I couldn`t even get my foot into the Raichels close to my mondo size, even the next size up was to narrow and to long, but the Heads were just right......after a few days of wearing them around the house.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 +1 on the Head boots. Especially after heat molding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Go with UPZ. I have short wide feet as well, and I find the toebox on the UPZ boots to fit me much more comfortably than raichle. Haven't tried head though, so I can't give you the comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I've got wide feet too (I also am in Salomon Synapse Wide softboots). I had my Head 26.5 hardboots widened twice and had to get Intuition liners. The shells were widened so much that they wouldn't fit in my Bomber bails and I had to file the shells. I am skeptical about the Deeluxes being wide. I couldn't even fit into a 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
