Does anyone (besides Sidi) sell riding boots for wide feet? Real sport boots. Not work boots, or engineer boots. Something with ankle and heel cups. I wear tactical type boots now, but they really wouldn't protect against a twisting or crushing injury.
Thanks.

I wear a 13 in shoes and they all have to be wide. Sidi was a little over priced for me so I looked at other makers. I've got Alpinestar S-MX 5 boots. They come in size up to 14 I believe and they're plenty wide enough. With a Dr. Scholls insert I can literally wear them all day long. They're EXTREMELY comfortable and have decent water proof capabilities. In the Houston heat they're not terribly warm and they have decent air flow thru them. They're really easy to get in and out of and they offer great ankle support and allow a wide range of movement. I've worn them all day at work under jeans in the office and no one seems to even notice they're full on motorcycle boots. Here's a link to where I got them from.

I'm glad you got a good response from posting here (this thread was originally in the Street Triple forum), but the Boots subforum of the Gear & Gadgets area is really where this question needs to be, for benefit of all future visitors using that forum to seek similar enlightenment.

Knowledge for all through Street Triple inquisitiveness!

For the record, I wear a 9 1/2 H (depending on the manufacturer, that is roughly 4E to 6E). I've also been cursed with high arches. We've all heard the jokes, but my feet really do look like Fred Flintstone's. Except I have 5 toes.

Aaron, Thanks for the suggestion. I've spotted those, but haven't seen any local to try on. I haven't had very good luck buying shoes on the Internet.
