Boots for big feet?

[Jpauly0]

Hey ya'll!

 

I'm having a hard time getting a proper fitting pair of boots. 

I wear a size 13/47 street shoe. Nepal EVO GTX 14/48 wrecked my toes on descent. 

Scarpa 14.5/49 fit well but doesn't accept full auto crampons (their sizing is a bit different after you pass 48).

Has anyone sized from a 47 up to a 49 in Nepals? I can't seem to find any half sizes past 48 for La Sportivas.

Or, has anyone had a similar problem and used higher arch footbeds to create a little more room in the toe box of the 48's? Finding pairs this large to try has proven almost impossible and buying a new pair of boots from the UK unsure of the fit is well, scary considering their price tags.

Any information or input is appreciated, thanks!!

Im not sure what your goals are in climbing. I wear a size 14.5 and have a pair of 49 scarpa phantom techs that accept a fully-automatic crampon. I had to order them from europe since they didn't make my size in the US but I found a good deal on them. So far they're great. only drawback is the durability of the gator. 

 

Here is a link to a euro website w/ larger shoe sizes. https://www.bergfreunde.eu/mountaineering-boots/for--men/size--49/?bfc-size[]=48&bfc-size[]=48c5&bfc-size[]=49c5

This summer I bought a pair of Scarpa Charmoz in 50.  I also have an older pair of Sportiva K4S in 48 for technical ice, not sure what the current equivalent is.

I have about the same size feet as you. Measure US 13 and wear 13 or 14 (47 or 48 euro size) shoes/boots. For me, 48 is big enough, and that's the size of my Garmont summer mountaineering boots which accept semi-auto. For ski boots I'm in size 28-30. Works for me, but definitely need some punches or shell molding in the smaller size resort ski boots!

Scarpa Mount Blancs. My toes get wrecked on a long slog descent, but I think that's a feature, not a bug, of a climbing boot. Ski off the mountain when possible.
