Wide Toe Boots ?


lost hope
 Share

Recommended Posts

I know the dreaded boots question comes up all the time and I have spent time reading through old threads.

 

I have size 9 1/2 feet but an E width fitting so need a wide toe boot. I am having to wear size 11 Lowa walking boots at the moment.

I think I would prefer a class 2 boot for a little extra protection.

 

What are your reccomendations ?

 

I have looked online at meindl airstreams

 

and Husky technical 24

 

and the Lavoro Sherwood - Are these now decent wearing and worthy of their class 3 rating, old threads talk of them being comfy but disintegrating soles and folk cutting straight through them with no kevlar being pulled out to stop the chain.

 

 

cheers

Stu

I would really prefer boots with protection, I will also need them to do my cs30/31.

 

I have already resigned myself to buying a size up as I did with my walking boots, I just hope the steel toes don't dig in or cause problems.

 

The Lavoro Sherwoods look ok with class 3 protection but there are some duff reports on here

I have exactly the same problem,albeit in size 10,been wearing the earlier model Lavahos for a couple of years and find them really comfortable, the toecap fit is better than most of the safety boots that I've worn.

 

But I really would recommend getting to one of the larger suppliers and trying some on - you'll spend an awful amount of time in them hopefully!

German boots are normally wider apparently. So meindl work well for me.

 

interesting, I'm sure I read in on thread that someone thought their Meindl Waldlaufers were on the narrow side. Everyone has their different opinions and feet to go with them :laugh1:

 

I originally wanted the waldlaufers but I am concerned that they only have frontal protection, sometimes sh*t happens and I might be greatfull for all round protection.

 

Has anyone tried the Husky Technical 24 boots ?
