I have size 14.5ish feet and have always struggled finding footwear, especially backpacking boots. I wore out a pair of Lowa Tibets in size 14 but they were always too tight especially with a light/medium wool sock. Size 15 in the tibets were just too big and floppy for my narrow feet.
I’ve been scouring the internet since most in-store retailers don’t go past size 13. I’ve narrowed down a couple boots based off size recommendations and general reviews of fit. Here’s what I’m thinking:
-Zamberlan Saguaro GTX RR in size 14 (people say they fit half a size big)
-Meindl Vakuum Hunter GTX size 14 (also said to have a larger toe box)
-Scarpa Mescalito GTX in size 49 (I can’t find these in stock anywhere)
-La Sportiva Trango Tech GTX in Size 48 (it seems like La Sportiva is known to fit small so probably not an option)
If anyone has a similar foot and has suggestions, please let me know. I would love a lighter boot but it seems my best options will come down to a heavier leather style.
