Boots for big feet

[Fredwardclarke]

Hello all.  
bit of a odd one, I’ve got big feet. Size 15 actually. I struggle like hell to find boots big enough. 
The majority of my friends are in V12s and bucklers for the winter however I’m stuck in dewalt lace ups or dr martens that don’t preform great in the winter. 
I’m also now in need of chainsaw protection. Any advice on where I may find suitable chainsaw boots and good waterproof winter boots?

Meindl Airstream come in size 15, try FR Jones or Honey Bros.

I wouldn’t bother with FRJones, they seem to have gone to shit tbh.
We put a little order together as they offered me a discount voucher for cancelling a previous Facebook promotional order where they sold products they didn’t have… The small recent order ended up being made up of products it turned out they also didn’t have (but were still happy to sell - similar business model to Northern Arb Supplies I reckon!).

A mate has just had a similar experience with Money Brothers - he bought something he needed in a hurry and it continued to not arrive (as they took his money for something they didn’t have…).

Sorbus are the way to go - brilliant company, I’ve only ever had amazing service from them. They’ll tell you if something isn’t in stock and are realistic with lead times. And they are nice people too!

I struggled to get extra long leg saw pants and ended up getting them off freeworker germany. They had a very good selection of off standard sizes at the time including boots. May be worth sending them an email. https://www.freeworker.de/en/2019/12/04/chainsaw-protection-shoes-tree-care/

Thanks I'll have a look at that as my trousers are getting a bit holey.

Airstreams are the main choice, only other one I know is Pfanner will make some of their boots in size 15 to special order. I'm tempted but seems risky, if they then don't fit brilliantly.

I have the same issues around the lunchbox finding good fitting briefs 🤭

Not chainsaw boots and non steel toe capped but Karrimoor do a decent selection of large sized boots. Im in mine 8 hours a day and its took 2 years to wear my first pair out.

Karrimor is a sports direct  brand now like many others so that brand name is a pretty meaningless one nowadays, but still they may be ok  vfm....
