I am having a hell of a time finding better boots than the Keen Targhee that I replaced a few months ago.
I have a measured 12EE foot and the Keens have been great but I wanted something better for my upcoming Colorado elk hunt. I started with Lowa Camino GTX in 12 extra wide . They felt great at first but then as they broke in the top of the boot started to put pressure on the top of my foot that became excruciating for me. I was fortunate that they fit my son perfectly. I was able to try on next a size 12 Salomon Quest 4 and it was almost as wide as the Lowa but the store didn't have a size 13 to try on so I ordered it from Shoes.com. Again they felt great walking around the house and even the first few hikes but now I have hot spots all over from my heels, my one big toe and the side of both feet. I have not gotten any blisters from either pair of boots but I don't know if I should keep them since I haven't gotten any blisters or just go back to the Keens which what I have been told don't have enough support and will apparently be hell sidehilling. I have spent over well over $400 so far and this is getting expensive.
Who makes a wide high volume boot that may fit?
