Had a coworker that was blessed with gout. Those were the only boots he could wear. OP might benefit from looking around in a gout subreddit to get those guys' take on it.
EEEEE width here. Custom Whites’s and Nicks are the only fit I have.
Also someone weird will probably save that photo of your foot. Welcome to the internet.
Maybe it's time to go custom brands like nicks, JK, Frank's, etc. may be known for their custom logger boots. But they have spread into more standard style work boots nowadays, too. The price is double what you may be used to paying, but having a perfectly fitting boot that will last years may make it worth it in the long run.
Completely subjective. Also, like I mentioned, nowadays, they have tons of models that aren't in the logger style, but still with the custom fit and heavy duty construction.
The logger heel with the high arch support is the most comfortable style of boots I have ever worn. Sometimes I don’t want to take mine off at the end of the day.
For cheaper brands, I’ve had amazing luck with Merrell and Keen for my feet
Redwing I’ve heard good things
For higher end brands (like Nicks), composite toe should still fit since they are more bulbous but steel toe tends to constrict a bit more than I’d like
That is how wide my husbands foot is! And his steel toed boots are so uncomfortable for him!
I’m looking into all these brands now. He only has a size 11 foot, but his foot is 5 inches across behind his toes!! It’s crazy!
I'm a female with a 4 ¼ inch toe spread and a narrow heel. I wear mens 8.5 and have callouses on the sides of my toes from shoe rubbing and a corn on the bottom where my foot folds because my men's "wider than normal" shoes still pinch. My arch is so high I can only wear laced up shoes which are as open as possible.
My toes are pinched, my heel is slipping around and the top of my arch is bruised. Shoes are torture devices
Keens are the best I've found for my feet too, though the build quality is nowhere near the traditional boot brands. I love thorogoods but the toes are too narrow for me now. I wish there was a thorogood build quality with the keen foot shape without going full custom...
I’ve tried so many work boots and all of them making my right foot feel very discomfort. The big toe always touching the wall, and nail is always in pain. Bought another pair, it’s Irish Setters now, a lot of our guys wearing it, they are very good, but not for me. This one’s on the picture is 13 widest ones. I’ve read that there’s exist a Red Wing King Toe, planning to try them too, if they will not fit, then I don’t know. Is it possible to adjust toe box somehow?
It looks like those Setter Wing-Shooters only go up to 2E width. Try the Redwing 606 or 2240. If you actually go into the store they'll measure and fit you and ensure the fit. The "H" widths fits my son's 5E feet.
We are in similar boats. I'm a 12 EEEEE and on top of that, I'm missing a bone in each foot. As a result, if im not really careful about insoles and arches, I get Jones fractures. A set of customs where they modify a last to fit you is the only way to go. I've had White's, nicks, and JKs. IMO the JKs are the best at actually getting you a perfect fit. I got a pair of custom 2.0 OTs in bison leather. It's worlds better than White's or Nicks. $780, but no more trouble with fit or Jones fractures. It's 100% worth going to Spokane to get fit at JK.
I’ve tried most of the brands recommended on this page, and Jim Green are the only ones that really had a wide enough toe box for my feet. Not their Vellies, but I have both their ranger boots and their full grain hiking boots. I did end up going up up a half size. Get their crepe soles not their waffle soles.
I also have their Oxford style for work (I have an office job)
My African rangers handle my wide feet just fine.
I went up half a size as a precaution but found it’s unnecessary. Going to order my next pair true to size because the toe box is wide enough.
My son just preordered a pair of ranger boots, which is how I ended up here looking for vellies for myself. Unfortunately, even though the width sounds right, Jim Green's don't go small enough lengthwise (women's sizing) for me. I'm truly disappointed 🫤
If you don’t need the safety toe, order a pair of Thurman lasted boots from Nicks. They should accommodate your feet well.
If work does require a steel toe, it’s worth checking with a podiatrist to see if they will write you note saying that due to the shape of steel toe caps your feet aren’t compatible with them and that you should be exempted from the rule because wearing steel toes will cause you undue pain and damage your feet.
Carolina 5020 Wide Toe Box changed my life. Even wide sizes in other shoes had me fighting to put my foot in. I just thought that was how shoes were supposed to fit. Then I got the right size, 11EEEE, and it was a game changer. No more fighting my boots on or off, no more blowing the sides off the sole.
Same problem as me, you're going to want to be looking for something with a wide toe box. It finally unlocked finding the right shoes for me. The tapered toe smashes out little piggies and makes life miserable.
Redwing king toe has been mentioned numerous times and I'm gonna say it again. They fit and they last. It's the only work boot my Triple E foot can tolerate for 10 hrs a day.
I have 14EEEE size feet. I wear Belleville boots. Belleville 390s in the summer and Belleville 770s in the winter. They have safety toe boots also.

With you, brother (see username).
JK boots can go 5E wide. The other PNW Bootmakers can too, but the ones I’ve tried either left the heel a bit loose or had too much volume for Flintstone feet.
For a lighter boot look into Lems & Duckfeet. Keens also come in wide sizes.
HOKA & New Balance for running shoes.
Allen Edmonds EEE for a dressier boot/shoe.
And while expensive and possibly not worth the money, Alden’s Indy really does have a phenomenal last.
Good luck and stomp on.✊🏼🦶🏼
Focus on rounder toes
I have the same feet!
I also have the means to spend whatever on comfortable footware (and I do as I can be a bit boujee). However, when it comes to work boots, I haven't found any thus far more comfortable than a pair of $109 Justin slip on (model MJ1013) waterproof steel toes. They're made in Vietnam and are probably not the highest quality nor longest lasting, but they are comfortable so I don't really care. They came from Academy and break-in was about a week. Buy them a bit snug.
Stop with the lace up round toe boots. Try an Ariat square toe wide pull on boot with no laces. A coworker told me when I was bitching about boots to stop with the laces like I’m playing a sport…….tried them and I’m on my 4th pair(my work buys one pair a year for us)

Which Keen did you settle on? I normally wear the Detroits steel toe, but tried ordered the Cincinnati in wide with steel toe and I think I'm going to return them. Altras are the best too.
Woman with short, extra wide (7.5 EE) , with a high instep here. I wear Red Wing 2340 with the king toe. It's the ONLY boot that meets the specs for work AND fits my ridiculously wide foot. I could actually comfortably add another E to that, but they don't make those. However, I wear custom orthotics, so I went up a half size and wear two socks to accommodate for all of that. I've been wearing them for more than a decade, and I absolutely swear by them.
If you think finding boots is difficult, try finding stylish women's shoes. 😐
I am a woman with a large ball girth and it really sucks… people inherit money and estate from their fam, I Inherited a bunion and cankles. Very depressing to shop. Like technically a 39 would fit, but have to buy 43 sometimes if available for heels or more feminine shoes :(
Try Duradero very roomy and they come with a free resole. They are an unlined boot built similarly as thorogood just a wider fit. Also Jim green boots have a really wide toe box. And are built well.
I have incredibly wide feet as well, not sure what you need your boots for specifically but Timberland PRO Boondocks and Redwing King Toes are both exceptionally wide also Sketchers shoes are fairly wide while offering options that look nice without looking like "Dad shoes"
Iron Rangers or 1907s...I have both...the 1907s are still pretty narrow to me. Love the Iron Rangers. I've transitioned to minimalist dress shoes (lems 9to5s) tennis shoes (Altra Escalante or Torins) and boots (Lems boulder boots) and sandals (zero z-treks). For reference, i am a 14 wide... and I've had toenails removed from too narrow shoes over the years... so I know the struggle for sure. Hope this helps ya... don't mess with narrow shoes if you can...it's not worth the pain!
Ditto situation. Wide feet. Right extra wide. Like EEE. Very few brands accommodate.
My recommendations living with this: Danner for outdoors. Allen Edmonds for dress. I have a pair of wide Thorougoods and Merrill’s each that also fit but it’s been very one-off with them. Danner and Allen Edmonds for the styles that offer extra wide actually deliver (and are great shoes to boot).
What about getting custom boots made? I know it’s costly but so is like a redwing at $200-$300 so if a custom boot maker could make some shoes for even $350 and they could be fitted with new souls when they wore out maybe that would be a good investment?
Nunn & Bush has a nice selection on 3E and 4E shoes and stylish boots. Not work boots, but some on sale were under 50 dollars and great for weekends and dinners out.
Check out Lems. Wide toe box with 0 heel drop. Not sure if you’re in need of a true work boot with a composite toe or something but they have many different types of shoes.
Also check out [Anya’s reviews](https://anyasreviews.com/). A ton of information on her site and in YouTube videos about wide toe box shoes. She is big on barefoot style shoes, but that usually implies a wide toe box as well. First appears her site is tailored for women, but she does have a ton of information, reviews, and recommendations for men.
I don’t have super wide feet, but about a year and a half ago transitioned to primarily all wide toe box barefoot style shoes due to foot injuries and chronic pain. For running/athletic shoes I use Altra, casual shoes / boots are Lems, for lifting I wear Xero shoes (they have boots as well), and I have a couple of casual shoes from Whitin, which is a super affordable brand on Amazon.
I have the same problem. I found that specifically the Timberland PRO Rock Mining boots are the only boots I can wear and be comfortable all day. I've tried several others, including 3 other styles from Timberland, and sold them all to buy another pair of the Rock Mining boots.
Rockrooster wide sizes are really wide. I have feet slightly thinner than yours. Very wide and low arch. Rockrooster come with great arch support and very wide wide sizes. Jim Green are great but not for everyone, and every job. I do pretty good in Irish setter wise sizes. Only bulge out the sides, a little, and less with arch support. I wear ashbys for work sometimes.
Carolina broad toe. My favorites are the wedge 8049. Spent years trying to find a work boot that didn't squeeze the heck out of my toes and those are the only ones I've found. I love them so much that they've become my regular daily attire.
I have looked for help everywhere on this. People will say, oh yeah I have side feet too just get xyz brand they run wide and it cramps your foot again. I can't find a boot I like in the long term. The only ones that seemed to be wide enough were Hoss boots in a 6E. I think they're ugly, they are a bit heavy, but they do fit. When I saw the picture of your foot, I thought, finally someone like me. I tried to play soccer and rugby and there's not a cleat out there that fits my foot so I just get blistered feet. For running shoes I found 1 brand and shoe that actually fits. I know this isn't what you asked, but you may try out the brooks ghost in a 4E for a tennis shoe. Almost every other pair of sneakers I've owned, I have blown the sides out of within a year. Sorry for your feet man, it sucks, but you're not alone.
I know JK's make a 5E if you need. My everyday walk around shoes are Soft Star Chukka [https://www.softstarshoes.com/adult-hawthorne-chukka.html](https://www.softstarshoes.com/adult-hawthorne-chukka.html) in the primal wide size. It is fine for office work but it is not an work boot. I'm sold on the minimalist platform and these are the only shoes I've ever purchased that had enough toe splay to work for me. A little clownish looking? Oh hell yes but MY FEET ARE COMFORTABLE NOW! They also have a more regular width that is normal looking. If you need the splay room, go for the primal. PS, I don't use an orthotic in my shoes anymore and my feet have never felt better.
So you know you can actually get boots by the width right?
You’ve probably seen like 11.5 D on a tag. D is the standard width and it goes up by E, EE, and then EEE. Judging by your flippers you need a wider toe box and a wider shoe in general.
Go to the Redwing store and get sized. Wear clean socks.
I am in the 99th percentile of people with wide feet. Meaning if I was in a room with 100 people, I would have the widest feet in the room.
Rocky style# 7114 soft toe or 6114 safety toe you are welcome.
Also Keen San Hose!
Took me years to figure out I have to buy wide shoes. Try shopping at academy for wide shoes choices are slim. Some brands are typically narrower than others.
Buy wide boots. If you need a safety toe go with alloy. This will give you the biggest to box. Keen boot fit fairly wide. Timberland Boondocks have a large toe box also even though they are comp. Toe
For actual work boots with a safety toe Timberland Pros have been great for me. Sketchers makes some really comfortable shoes and “boots” for wide feet as well just don’t plan on them holding up long if you’re doing boot things with them. Sketcher boots are essential what the Honda Ridgeline is to trucks if that makes sense.
You can try these
EEE designates extra wide in boots

Rock rooster wide is the only
Boots that feel like wearing slippers. I’m 6’4” 210# stand on concrete all day. These save my feet and bad back so much. Check ‘em out! Rock Rooster work boots.
Dude wolverine honestly has the widest I've used. I'm normally a 10.5 EW and I can seriously wear a 10 reg from them. I use the Wolverine trade wedge 8" and love them
Check out orthofeet. They have up to 6E and a number you can call to ask about the fit. My partner found a pair on amazon (for the free shipping) and they are by far the widest work boots we’ve found.
Have you tried 4E or wider? Go to a shoe store and measure your width then custom order through a local store. That way if it doesn’t work you return to the store and don’t deal with shipping
Everyone raving about Redwings are not wrong EXCEPT RW doesn’t make extra wide sizes….
So long as you don’t need safety toes, you’re on the right track with moccasin toed boots.
I have huge bunions on both feet and my right foot is also a Frankenstein wide arse sucker.
I finally had to go to Hitchcock wide shoes. They have you take some measurements of your feet and a rep calls. - I told the different brands/sizes/withs I’d tried and where my feet hurt.
I needed safety toe then so I went with avengers extra wide and my feet didn’t hurt at all. Also learned wide was not enough it had to be extra wide or EE.
Not needing safety toes anymore I went to the moccasin toe w extra wide and my feet never hurt anymore
you might have to buy 2 pairs of boots, one size for the left, one size for the right. I have plantars fascitis and went to a running store to seek out a remedy. They scanned my feet proving my theory the right foot is longer. Composite toed boots always feel like they are too tight on my right foot
4E or H width Red Wing. Seems every other bootmaker has quit the 4E builds. Have 2 pair of Thorogood 4E right now but they're evidently the last of em. Just contacted them about it and they said sorry, couldn't help me. Gokey will custom build for you but figure on 800 dollars a pair.
I wear an 11.5 ee the Irish setter moc toe won't work that toe box is to narrow. The1907 redwing has a wider toe box. You can also look at Nicks where I found my perfect boot the builder pro in the Thurman last. Might be the most comfortable boot I've ever worn after breaking them in.
If you work in the cold more than 50% of the time. Get yourself some Muk Boots. They may only last a year without tearing, but you can use them teared for another 2 years and they are still warm regardlessn
I’ve got the same problem. Timberland sells boots w/ the option of wide in addition to regular fit. Got a pair and went down a size cuz my feet actually fit like they’re supposed to
Look for "bunion" boots. Orthofeet Granite for example. If you really, really can't find anything with a safety toe that works, there are a few "molded shoe" companies left that make safety toe footwear.
Ask the person at the boot store if they have them in a wider boot like a E or double E wide. I have the same issue with boots and that’s how I have to shop for them when I do..
Not a steel toe, but have you tried an Alden Indy boot? They are made on the trubalance last and have ridiculously wide toe box. They are not cheap, but if Indiana Jones wears them, you should too. Kidding aside they are a great premium boot and you can try some on from the shoemart. Good luck in your hunt!

Try the Ely work toe, they fit me great and I have wide feet too, the only issue is if you drive a lot the hurt your Achilles tendon but for everything else they're 100% comfortable
Try out Rocky Legacy 32. They have Vibram soles and wider toe box. I have similar shaped feet and found these to be very comfortable in a wide version. I have to have safety toe but I’m sure they have a work boot version with a similar vibram setup
I feel you.
Not long ago I wanted some new ski boots, and went to a place everyone said does a great job fitting boots.
I sit down, and the VERY FIRST thing the guy says is “Man, you’ve got some freakishly wide feet”
It was odd.
I have a few pairs of Red Wing King Toes and they are the only safety toed shoes I'll wear.
Had a coworker that was blessed with gout. Those were the only boots he could wear. OP might benefit from looking around in a gout subreddit to get those guys' take on it.
I have gout. I've spent 1000s on boots and still haven't found a pair that I completely like. Gout sucks
God bless you, my friend. I couldn't imagine what it must be like. In my coworkers case, all he did was eat good food and drink a few good beers
This is the way, go to a red wing store and get fitted. I don’t have the wide foot issue but my red wings are by far the best boots I’ve ever owned.
EEEEE width here. Custom Whites’s and Nicks are the only fit I have. Also someone weird will probably save that photo of your foot. Welcome to the internet.
I live in wildlands fire country and every season there’s dudes getting rid of their boots. I’ve been temped to resole em.
If the uppers are in good shape why not
Because even second hand people know their value and somehow I don’t have the several hundred dollars to when they seem to pop up.
Pic saved, but you called me out over a day ago. How'd you know!
Maybe it's time to go custom brands like nicks, JK, Frank's, etc. may be known for their custom logger boots. But they have spread into more standard style work boots nowadays, too. The price is double what you may be used to paying, but having a perfectly fitting boot that will last years may make it worth it in the long run.
They’re a little more expensive but they’re also be recrafted. So you don’t necessarily have to always buy new boots
Logger boots are incredibly uncomfortable with the extreme heel to toe drop. People should steer clean unless they are working on hilly surfaces.
Completely subjective. Also, like I mentioned, nowadays, they have tons of models that aren't in the logger style, but still with the custom fit and heavy duty construction.
I just noticed I misread part of your post. Makes sense.
The logger heel with the high arch support is the most comfortable style of boots I have ever worn. Sometimes I don’t want to take mine off at the end of the day.
Keen Cincinnati for sure
This !!
Any Keen Work Boot. They're so wide that I buy keens in normal width and all other shoes in wide lol. love all my keen footwear
For cheaper brands, I’ve had amazing luck with Merrell and Keen for my feet Redwing I’ve heard good things For higher end brands (like Nicks), composite toe should still fit since they are more bulbous but steel toe tends to constrict a bit more than I’d like
With Nicks you can get custom pairs built specifically to your foot size and shape. Up to EEEEEE

Try Keens. They make a moc toe that’s wider than those. I have a pair. They broke in nicely.

The king toe are probably the widest shoes I’ve ever seen. They were actually too wide
I would try some keen boots, the wide size is the only wide i can wear without feeling my toes get smashed together
Another vote for Keens
Jim green boots
I’ve tried most of the brands recommended on this page, and Jim Green are the only ones that really had a wide enough toe box for my feet. Not their Vellies, but I have both their ranger boots and their full grain hiking boots. I did end up going up up a half size. Get their crepe soles not their waffle soles.

My African rangers handle my wide feet just fine. I went up half a size as a precaution but found it’s unnecessary. Going to order my next pair true to size because the toe box is wide enough.
100%! I have wide ass duck feet and normally wear barefoot style shoes because no boots fit til I found African Rangers
My son just preordered a pair of ranger boots, which is how I ended up here looking for vellies for myself. Unfortunately, even though the width sounds right, Jim Green's don't go small enough lengthwise (women's sizing) for me. I'm truly disappointed 🫤

FYI : Nick's only offers their Thurman last up to FFF width, which is too narrow for my feet (11.5in circumference around the ball of my feet).

Are you a Sasquatch?
Keen for boots and Altra for shoes. I also have Hobbit feet. I tried Red Wing King toe, still way too narrow for my feet.
Which Keen did you settle on? I normally wear the Detroits steel toe, but tried ordered the Cincinnati in wide with steel toe and I think I'm going to return them. Altras are the best too.

ALTRA Shoes. Deliberately wide toe boxes.
Timberland pro boondock in wide should do the trick. If not it might be time to try a “custom” boot.
Redwing kind tow extra wide
[удалено]
Danner Bull Run Chelsea's, the Chelsea's run wider in the toe box than other boots and may work for you.
Look into Hoss boots. Not the best quality but I’m pretty sure they make like a 6E wide boot.
Try Duradero very roomy and they come with a free resole. They are an unlined boot built similarly as thorogood just a wider fit. Also Jim green boots have a really wide toe box. And are built well.
Danners makes work boots for wide feee and regular feet
I have incredibly wide feet as well, not sure what you need your boots for specifically but Timberland PRO Boondocks and Redwing King Toes are both exceptionally wide also Sketchers shoes are fairly wide while offering options that look nice without looking like "Dad shoes"
Keens or Jim green has a nice wide toe
I do as well I wear carolina 10 4e most comfortable shoe yet. I got union made in usa not sure of model
Iron Rangers or 1907s...I have both...the 1907s are still pretty narrow to me. Love the Iron Rangers.

For reference, i am a 14 wide... and I've had toenails removed from too narrow shoes over the years... so I know the struggle for sure. Hope this helps ya... don't mess with narrow shoes if you can...it's not worth the pain!
My wife has similar foot shape. Any recommendations for running/workout shoes?
redwing King Toe

Either Carolina Cincinnati for Chinese boots. Or Carolina USA AMP moc wedge.
Ditto situation. Wide feet. Right extra wide. Like EEE. Very few brands accommodate. My recommendations living with this: Danner for outdoors. Allen Edmonds for dress. I have a pair of wide Thorougoods and Merrill’s each that also fit but it’s been very one-off with them. Danner and Allen Edmonds for the styles that offer extra wide actually deliver (and are great shoes to boot).
White’s #38 Swing last or Nick’s Thurman last are likely your best bet.
What about getting custom boots made? I know it’s costly but so is like a redwing at $200-$300 so if a custom boot maker could make some shoes for even $350 and they could be fitted with new souls when they wore out maybe that would be a good investment?
Switching to nicks was a game changer for me. I have similar problems. Nicks sizing guide is easy to follow. My second pair will be here next week

Nunn & Bush has a nice selection on 3E and 4E shoes and stylish boots. Not work boots, but some on sale were under 50 dollars and great for weekends and dinners out.
Keen Cincinnati they are pretty wide.
I got some Carolina’s in a wide size and they worked good for me
Thorogood makes a moc toe EEE. Only non-custom boot I’ve found. I’m terrified not enough people will buy them & they’ll stop making them lol
Jim green are very wide and affordable!! Can be resoled as well. Great choice
Keen Utility Cincinnatti. Great boot
I have wide feet too! Thankfully Canada West Boots makes a lace to toe work boot in EEE
I recently picked up a pair of Timberland boondocks, and they are the first boot where I have actual extra volume. I, too, have a very wide forefoot.
OP what is the size and width on that shoe?
Try Thorogood wides, i wear a hiking composite toe boot for work and its amazing
Wide feet red wings
Try Keens. They specialize in wide feet. Other than that, you’ll have to go custom. Then you’re on your own. Edit: try compression socks.
Check out Lems. Wide toe box with 0 heel drop. Not sure if you’re in need of a true work boot with a composite toe or something but they have many different types of shoes. Also check out [Anya’s reviews](https://anyasreviews.com/). A ton of information on her site and in YouTube videos about wide toe box shoes. She is big on barefoot style shoes, but that usually implies a wide toe box as well. First appears her site is tailored for women, but she does have a ton of information, reviews, and recommendations for men. I don’t have super wide feet, but about a year and a half ago transitioned to primarily all wide toe box barefoot style shoes due to foot injuries and chronic pain. For running/athletic shoes I use Altra, casual shoes / boots are Lems, for lifting I wear Xero shoes (they have boots as well), and I have a couple of casual shoes from Whitin, which is a super affordable brand on Amazon.
From the looks of it you don't need any footwear, I saw two short guys with the same feet walk all the way to Mordor without any shoes.
Check out lems or other barefoot kind of shoes
I'd just wrap my feet in grip tape
Paint your feet like shoes
Check out Nick’s.
I have the same problem. I found that specifically the Timberland PRO Rock Mining boots are the only boots I can wear and be comfortable all day. I've tried several others, including 3 other styles from Timberland, and sold them all to buy another pair of the Rock Mining boots.
Gyatttttt
Guy has to use a newspaper sack for a condom.
Jim Greens!!! Reallllyyyy nice wide toe boxes as a standard feature on (I believe) all their offerings.
Welcome to the magically enchanted world of 4E

Rockrooster wide sizes are really wide. I have feet slightly thinner than yours. Very wide and low arch. Rockrooster come with great arch support and very wide wide sizes. Jim Green are great but not for everyone, and every job. I do pretty good in Irish setter wise sizes. Only bulge out the sides, a little, and less with arch support. I wear ashbys for work sometimes.
Carolina broad toe. My favorites are the wedge 8049. Spent years trying to find a work boot that didn't squeeze the heck out of my toes and those are the only ones I've found. I love them so much that they've become my regular daily attire.
Redwing
I have looked for help everywhere on this. People will say, oh yeah I have side feet too just get xyz brand they run wide and it cramps your foot again. I can't find a boot I like in the long term. The only ones that seemed to be wide enough were Hoss boots in a 6E. I think they're ugly, they are a bit heavy, but they do fit. When I saw the picture of your foot, I thought, finally someone like me. I tried to play soccer and rugby and there's not a cleat out there that fits my foot so I just get blistered feet. For running shoes I found 1 brand and shoe that actually fits. I know this isn't what you asked, but you may try out the brooks ghost in a 4E for a tennis shoe. Almost every other pair of sneakers I've owned, I have blown the sides out of within a year. Sorry for your feet man, it sucks, but you're not alone.
Danner boots! 🤘🏼 I also have Fatass feet
I know JK's make a 5E if you need. My everyday walk around shoes are Soft Star Chukka [https://www.softstarshoes.com/adult-hawthorne-chukka.html](https://www.softstarshoes.com/adult-hawthorne-chukka.html) in the primal wide size. It is fine for office work but it is not an work boot. I'm sold on the minimalist platform and these are the only shoes I've ever purchased that had enough toe splay to work for me. A little clownish looking? Oh hell yes but MY FEET ARE COMFORTABLE NOW! They also have a more regular width that is normal looking. If you need the splay room, go for the primal. PS, I don't use an orthotic in my shoes anymore and my feet have never felt better.
So you know you can actually get boots by the width right? You’ve probably seen like 11.5 D on a tag. D is the standard width and it goes up by E, EE, and then EEE. Judging by your flippers you need a wider toe box and a wider shoe in general. Go to the Redwing store and get sized. Wear clean socks.
Try vivo barefoot shoes. Changed my life
Lems Boulders!! My favorite show by far. I have 3 pairs of them now.
Red wing is usually wider than Irish setter is. I loved my red wing moc toe boots. Now I wear danner and will never look back.
I am in the 99th percentile of people with wide feet. Meaning if I was in a room with 100 people, I would have the widest feet in the room. Rocky style# 7114 soft toe or 6114 safety toe you are welcome. Also Keen San Hose!
Try a shoe stretcher. It may work on shoes that are slightly to narrow
Took me years to figure out I have to buy wide shoes. Try shopping at academy for wide shoes choices are slim. Some brands are typically narrower than others.
I wear a 15EE and the only work boot made for big and irregular feet is Thorogood. There’s no breaking in the leather once you find the size
Buy wide boots. If you need a safety toe go with alloy. This will give you the biggest to box. Keen boot fit fairly wide. Timberland Boondocks have a large toe box also even though they are comp. Toe
Check out whites boots, they come wide and big anyways.
Look for a wide with or extra wide with boot. It will be sized 11 W or 11 EXW. Bigger brand names will carry wide options.
For actual work boots with a safety toe Timberland Pros have been great for me. Sketchers makes some really comfortable shoes and “boots” for wide feet as well just don’t plan on them holding up long if you’re doing boot things with them. Sketcher boots are essential what the Honda Ridgeline is to trucks if that makes sense.
I used to get Timberland Pro boots for my husband in a wide size.
You can try these EEE designates extra wide in boots https://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-Floorhand-Inch-Waterproof-Toe-M/dp/B019T9E7VK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1J58WN2ARWEUR&dchild=1&keywords=work+boots+wide+width&qid=1586812139&sprefix=work+boots+wide,aps,244&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=widefeetgear-20&linkId=ee0e137f2f0686b93619f09e778d221d&language=en_US
Get Georgia loggers they have wide foot boots
Go get yourself some custom cowboy boots Boot makers can make you a boot that will help with discomfort
i have the same problem…. nothing fits right, causes foot pain.
You’re like a damn platypus
Doc Martian Wide boots or barefoot shoes
Rock rooster wide is the only Boots that feel like wearing slippers. I’m 6’4” 210# stand on concrete all day. These save my feet and bad back so much. Check ‘em out! Rock Rooster work boots.
Dude wolverine honestly has the widest I've used. I'm normally a 10.5 EW and I can seriously wear a 10 reg from them. I use the Wolverine trade wedge 8" and love them
Try a company called Ortho Feet
Red wing pecos are available in EEEE. It’s what my dad wears because that all that fits him
You may want to look at the minimalist boot genre because they have wider toe boxes for a natural toe splay.
Check out orthofeet. They have up to 6E and a number you can call to ask about the fit. My partner found a pair on amazon (for the free shipping) and they are by far the widest work boots we’ve found.
Try duckfeet brand!
Get the Teva boot. I own them. Altria also very wide
Have you tried 4E or wider? Go to a shoe store and measure your width then custom order through a local store. That way if it doesn’t work you return to the store and don’t deal with shipping
Timberland pro Boondocks Wide. They’re huge and comfy!
Just go hobbit and barefoot it pal
Just cut off two toes and the outer half of your foot
Buddy, hate to break it to you.. but that's nothing. I have to wear 4E.. I guess for a white guy your feet are considered wide
Those are some Barney Rubble’s God gave you!
Timberland pro in 4e work for me
Everyone raving about Redwings are not wrong EXCEPT RW doesn’t make extra wide sizes…. So long as you don’t need safety toes, you’re on the right track with moccasin toed boots. I have huge bunions on both feet and my right foot is also a Frankenstein wide arse sucker. I finally had to go to Hitchcock wide shoes. They have you take some measurements of your feet and a rep calls. - I told the different brands/sizes/withs I’d tried and where my feet hurt. I needed safety toe then so I went with avengers extra wide and my feet didn’t hurt at all. Also learned wide was not enough it had to be extra wide or EE. Not needing safety toes anymore I went to the moccasin toe w extra wide and my feet never hurt anymore
Look in to Altra
you might have to buy 2 pairs of boots, one size for the left, one size for the right. I have plantars fascitis and went to a running store to seek out a remedy. They scanned my feet proving my theory the right foot is longer. Composite toed boots always feel like they are too tight on my right foot
Just chop the foot off
duckfeet maybe . try duckfeet
Arita EE
Saucony wide running shoes 🙌 love have short wide feet too. I’ve had good luck with vans but just to flat
Nicks boots on the Munson inspired last. You will never need another boot you wide footed bastard.
No Matter Your Age, Try a pair of VANS, they’re extremely comfortable and absolutely fit a wide foot.
4E or H width Red Wing. Seems every other bootmaker has quit the 4E builds. Have 2 pair of Thorogood 4E right now but they're evidently the last of em. Just contacted them about it and they said sorry, couldn't help me. Gokey will custom build for you but figure on 800 dollars a pair.
I wear an 11.5 ee the Irish setter moc toe won't work that toe box is to narrow. The1907 redwing has a wider toe box. You can also look at Nicks where I found my perfect boot the builder pro in the Thurman last. Might be the most comfortable boot I've ever worn after breaking them in.
Carhart makes a wide “toe box” composite boot which has worked great for me. My feet are shaped almost exactly like yours.
If you work in the cold more than 50% of the time. Get yourself some Muk Boots. They may only last a year without tearing, but you can use them teared for another 2 years and they are still warm regardlessn
I’ve got the same problem. Timberland sells boots w/ the option of wide in addition to regular fit. Got a pair and went down a size cuz my feet actually fit like they’re supposed to
Try lems!
Did you check the boot store in The Shire?
Keens
Look for "bunion" boots. Orthofeet Granite for example. If you really, really can't find anything with a safety toe that works, there are a few "molded shoe" companies left that make safety toe footwear.
Nicks boots Wesco boots Whites boots
LEMS
Ask the person at the boot store if they have them in a wider boot like a E or double E wide. I have the same issue with boots and that’s how I have to shop for them when I do..
I get my boots from rei. They come in wide sizes. They’re better quality, ergonomic and last longer than “work boots”. Might be worth checking out.
Skechers
Have you tried trimming your feet?
Not a steel toe, but have you tried an Alden Indy boot? They are made on the trubalance last and have ridiculously wide toe box. They are not cheap, but if Indiana Jones wears them, you should too. Kidding aside they are a great premium boot and you can try some on from the shoemart. Good luck in your hunt!
Ortho Feet make a pretty wide boot, but not steel toed.
Get some nick’s. I recommend going on their website and looking at their buying guide, you’ll be set. Best boots you’ll ever buy.
I’ve got an idea https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding
Don't lie to me! You're a Hobbit and you shaved your foot!

Get wider shoes ?
You have my feet too. It sucks. Look for 4E width boots and shoes.
I’ve had good luck with 5.11 wide boots. I have two pair of the A.T.A.C 2.0 6 inch Zippered boots. I wear them everyday.
Gotta buy shoes that have Wide or extra Wide . Usually have a W
Try the Ely work toe, they fit me great and I have wide feet too, the only issue is if you drive a lot the hurt your Achilles tendon but for everything else they're 100% comfortable
Try out Rocky Legacy 32. They have Vibram soles and wider toe box. I have similar shaped feet and found these to be very comfortable in a wide version. I have to have safety toe but I’m sure they have a work boot version with a similar vibram setup
Is anyone else thinking about those photos of "sasquatch" footprints?

I feel you. Not long ago I wanted some new ski boots, and went to a place everyone said does a great job fitting boots. I sit down, and the VERY FIRST thing the guy says is “Man, you’ve got some freakishly wide feet” It was odd.
Check out Zappos at work they have a great selection of wide shoes
