Question:
I have had a problem all my life, leave it alone. I have extremely wide
feet XXX or better in size. When I take off my shoes I swear my damn feet
were grafted on from a duck. Is there any where out there where I can buy a
pair of xxx wide mc boots. I have never been able to find anything more
than a medium width which really blows. Mainly have been wearing work type
boots only ones I have found in xxx size.
Answer:
I wear these and like em. My 2 feet are a size different and they were
able to make em fit real nice. Disclamer: these might not be considered
by some the absolute safest boots as they velcro up the side. They sure are
comfy though.
I've never bought real MC boots. I always wear work boots, probably because
I tend to be cheap about such things. Then again, some work boots these
days make the ones at the local dealership look inexpensive. Several of the
work brands I've worn come in triple and quadruple X sizes. Unless yours
have to say Harley Davidson on the side, you should be able to find some to
waddle about in.
I think real motorcycle boots are just real work boots that say Harley on the
toe. The whole idea is to consider the problem you are trying to solve and turn
up the solution set. Considerations: Heel that is ramped toward the toe so they
don't bite in - broke a foot learning that one. Steel to or not? Some like them,
some don't. Depends on whether your toes are crushed in the steel cap or your
buddy's. I don't have a problem with them. Materials: leather can rot in certain
climates. Plastics leak in wet areas. Temperature requirements: Are they lined
or not? Is that important? High or low cut? Laces or buckles/velcro/snaps?
Weight, comfort, fit - all very important, all very individual.
I have Skechers and like them fine. They're laced, ramped heel, steel toe, low
cut, warm enough for Washington State weather. Comfortable enough to wear all
day, easy to remove at the end of the day without a bootjack, enough flex in the
tops to prevent that skiboot stride.
