Looking for WIIIIIDE Hunting Boots

mpollan1 · Dec 16, 2019

Been to Cabelas/BassPro trying on their wide boots. Nothing works for my foot. Looking for waterproof and 600g thinsulate as I like to regulate warmth with socks. I've looked at the usual suspects (Merrell, Keen, etc.) Any brand you gents can recommend and better yet a well outfitted store I can visit for a try on. My budget is wide open. Nothing worse than cold, wet, aching feet IMO.

Cheers,

Mark

I'm a fan of Rocky boots, especially considering their pricing. Their wide cut works well for my feet, YMMV.

Possibly Redwing.

I went with Danner for my wide feet.

Bates EW sizes, sale on a winter bundle ends tonight.

I’ve got a pair of Merrel’s in wide that are awesome. Not a set of their insulated hunting boots, but they are waterproof and have held up to light snow, rain, dew, puddles and a few quick submerges in steams when I haven’t been careful crossing all without getting my feet wet.

I am going to look at them again when it’s time to replace my winter hunting boots (my cabelas rubber fleece lined boots are my go to when I need water PROOF boots, theirs are a wider cut, or at least wider enough for me)

Nothing beats hiking to your stand in un-insulated (hiking) boots then putting on dry socks and dry boots. It greatly improves your chances of keeping warm. I put on baffin impact boots and can usually sit dark to dark in Wisconsin with those. If its going to be sub zero weather all day I bring ravenwear booties and boot blankets and they are almost too warm, but they went out of business. I regret not getting more of there gear before they retired/closed up shop. Then take the boot liners out at night and put on boot dryer to ensure you are starting dry every day.

Catonsville-ish.
SafGard on Rolling Rd, just north of rt40
I wear 13 EEEE/14 EE and they can always cover my feet. I don't hunt, but I work outside with water. Keen insulated, waterproof hikers make me happy.

yes, rocky bear claw 3d gtx in a basic wide for my wide feet (usually wear extra wide) but my pair is only 200g.

i also got a pair of extra wide from ll bean that fit.

i did have to return wides in other name brands that just were too narrow and they didn't make extra wides.

Danners only for me. Made in the good ole' US OF A. Check them out on line.

Thanks for all the replies gents. At this point in time I'll wait a bit as I am neither fool nor brave enough to do any in person shopping. I love online shopping but returns are typically on the purchasers dime. Merry Christmas.

I have had good luck with LL Bean over the years.

I’m a 13-4E guy, with a good pair of walking and water resistant boots That disintegrated last hunting season and looking for replacements. They were 16 years old.

For the record, it comes down to what folks consider, as the OP asks, “ WIIIIIDE”

2e isn’t. D isn’t. 4E now that’s opening up.

The web sites I’ve been finding respond to a search for extra wide, 4E, and have nothing. Usually maxing out as wide/2e. Sorta like click bait.

The bigcamo site, for example, above had all Columbia boots, maxing out at d and e. for a walking boot. Those rubbery boots, I have a pair for flat land and marsh hunting, but walking hills, they’re pretty uselsss.

Tried danners site. Checked several and the maxed out at 2e/wide. And they don’t allow high level search by size/width.

After a while of that, you learn that you can ignore certain brands because they won’t have things in your size.

Cabelas, years before the buyout by bass pro, was good about large sizes and searching. Their catalogs did a good job of noting which products were available for the larger sizes. Now they match BPS, and large sizes are hard to find.

Bumping this thread. If folks are still looking for extra wide shoe.

Found a good and 13 xwide boot from Skechers. Slightly above ankle, waterproof.

Plenty wide, will give it a workout for hunt season opener.

Found this on the Skechers site. Will post after a good outing to break these things in.

I typically wear 9s but found that a Muck size 11 fits great with heavy socks and was wide enough. Picked them up at Tractor supply.
