I need to get a new pair of riding boots and am having a difficult time finding boots that are wide enough. Any suggestions? I'm looking for over the ankle maybe a little taller. I wear a 11 1/2 EEE, unfortunately!

Any suggestions are appreciated

try red wing shoes...they have model 965 which I wear and am very happy with.Mine is 9 1/2 ee and comfotable..about 125 dollars at workwear here in kent,washington

+1 on the Redwings.

I also have wide feet and bought a pair of Redwing boots for work/riding.
I would suggest that you invest in a better insole....either the one from Redwing (as I did) or an aftermarket brand.

I also have broad feet (and one fat broken ankle at the moment

) but the Sidi boots have been good for me. I am 12/46 ee FWIW

I too have a broad foot.

Many of the Italian brands of race style boot I find are too narrow, but I currently have a pair of Oxtar SS "Performance" race boots in size 45 10/04 which are very comfy for bike riding and heavily armoured everywhere but not so good for bush walking if you know what I mean.

Would a pair of these work?

I have a 12 EEE foot and wear Alpinestars touring boots which are comfortable, waterproof, and good for walking. I'm upset that DaveM didn't mention Rossi boots made in Oz. They are an over-the-ankle pull-on shoe/boot that I wear for everyday riding and work and find them great for wide feet. Rossi makes a number of M/C boots, but I don't have any of them. They're somewhat of a challenge to get in the US, but there is an importer in the Northwest.

ask any aussie fellow trumpy rider bill for help in getting them and i think any 1 of us will be glad to get them and send them over to you. someone near the factory would be the best option.
