ok guys i was out trying boots on today and i love the stiffness of the drivers x's but i think i need something wider....any suggestions...i think i am at least a EE if not EEE...

TheClash

ok here is the deal...i, right now, have my friends driver x's on..they are 11's...he and i usually only wear 9.5's but the 9.5's are waaay too small, 10's still feel really tight and toe is almost at the edge so he has been riding 11's for the past year. i have them on now and they are cushy cushy...feel great....but i think they might be a little too long...so the shop i was at did not have 10.5's and i am going to order some boots online.....so would you guys say to go with the 11's that i know feel good..or with the 10.5's...i need the width and maybe a little less in length but if the 10.5's are going to be too narrow i would rather stay with the 11's......

if the right size boot is too narrow, look for another boot. if there is any pain at all, look for another boot. that being said, if the 10.5 fits, but feels snug it will be fine after it packs out.

i have a very wide foot and my northwave decades are the best boot i've ever owned. just as comfortable as my sneakers. they were just on brociety for cheap money and i just bought a second pair to use when these wear down. i freeride 90% and the decades are plenty stiff enough. i think they rate a 8 or 9 on their scale. take a look on backcountryoutlet.com they're going for 75 bucks or so.

good advice ghost....the odd thing is the 11s liners are the same size as the 9.5 backpacking boots i have..so i am not too sure if the sizing is true to size....

Ghost_Rider_X

if they're comfortable you're good to go. but with a lot of heat moldable liners they'll pack out a half size and you'll end up with boots slightly too large.

TheClash

yup, which is why i am trying his..two pretty heavy seasons in them..i just altered them with a dr scholls soft foot bed under a super feet green insole...and man they feel even better

TheClash

anyone know if the 11 is wider than the 10.5??

TheClash

sorry to keep adding to my own thread....but how do the k2 T1's compare to the drivers? how about the ride crews?? anyone know of a boot company that produces a wider boot on average?

Ghost_Rider_X

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe salomon produces a wide specific line of boots. the f-20 and f-22 get really good reviews. something to check out.

TheClash

i think the salomon synapse comes in the wide..anyone wear it??
