mtnhippy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Any suggestions for AT boots that are on the wide side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Can you give us a bit more to work on? Are they wide up front, wide all along, Really W I D E ?? I have a fairly wide forefoot and am happy in my Dynafit Zzeros, with a bt of punching. Check out the boot reviews on Wildsnow.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhelmstadter Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 scarpa spirit 4s have a wider toe box than megarides and the zeros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnhippy Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 More info on my foot (how personal): narrow heel, high arch, wide forefoot. Overall medium volume. After trying on 15 pairs of mountaineering boots, found the best fit with Sportiva Nepal Evos (of course it had to be one of the most expensive pairs around). Thanks.

letsroll Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Mnthippy. Sounds like we have the same foot. I have the megarides and they are narrow. After a couple of years I also decided that I need a wider forefoot. This is second hand but I understand that the BD boots might work for you. I have not tried them on as I have a tough time justifying the cost of another pair of AT boots. Thank goodness that the Megarides are nearing the end of thier life span I will be interested in what you end up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Feet sound reasonably similar to mine except my arch is not particularly high. I have been happy in Sportiva Nepal Tops, Gramont hikers, Scarpa T1s, Salomon X-Waves, and Dynafit Zzeros. The latter 2 have required some punching.

lightD Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) I switched from Megarides to Methods early in the season last year and they were much roomier in the toe box. They seem higher volume than the Megarides overall. Of course, they're noticeably heavier than my Megarides were, but the fit was right on and they ski great.
