christensent Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I have size 45 baruntse boots that are long enough for my feet, but not wide enough or tall enough around the 5th metatarsal. I've had them bumped out and up numerous times and they won't hold any more push. They're not even close to big enough (they've never been great, but my feet have grown wider over the last year or two, and I imagine the boots shrank as every mountaineering boot I've ever owned has except the Nepal). I can sort of get them to work with thin wool socks with no liner socks, super thin 2.5mm insoles, and loosely tying the lower half. But it's just not good. Does anyone know of a double that is specifically much higher volume than the Baruntse? These have destroyed too many trips. Quote
ChrisCNY Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I wear a 45 also and have had great luck (width wise) with the Scarpa Phantom 6000's. I have a some-what wide fore-foot and these boots fit like a glove. Very well made and even hike pretty well too. Scarpa Phantom 6000 Review. Also, I've read good things about the Lowa Expedition 6000 Evo RD Lowa Expedition 6000 EVO RD Review. Quote
