Default Hunting boots for big feet

I have size 10 EEEE feet. Any idea where I can find some good insulated hunting boots that may actually fit?

I'm currently wearing a pair of Rocky's that are only EE. Even with thin socks, it's a tight squeeze and my feet end up getting cold despite the 800 grams of thinsulate due to poor circulation.

Muck boots--think they have an "extreme" version for really cold weather. I've been wearing the "Woody" for several years. I wear a 14EEEE sneaker, and they fit great--really nice for wide feet.

You've got trash can lids for feet! [:-] On the other hand, I've got a pair of skis. I wear 15AA and NOBODY makes hunting boots that size. I've got a couple pairs of custom made Nocona cowboy boots, but no hunting boots. I'll trade ya some length for some of that width.

Have you tried Red Wing?

Thanks Fellas

Art, I kinda like the wide lids, makes things nice and stable.

I'll swap you some short arm for long arm though

Chad, I checked their website out based on your recommendation. They mention they only come in standard widths, but their faq says-

Quote:
Do Muck Boots™ fit wide widths?

Yes. Muck Boots™ are made to standard widths but the materials will stretch comfortably to fit widths up to a EEEE.

Without your input I would have passed on them without looking back, but I trust what you say.
Do they really stretch that easily? Do they stay stretched, or go back to their smaller width each time you take them off? How hard are they to get on and off? Having wide feet and a high arch, I've always shied away from non-lace up boots, just a struggle I never wanted to deal with.

How heavy a sock do you wear with yours? They have a version that is for colder weather plus has a anti-microbial and deoderant treatment that looks interesting. I've bought much more expensive boots that didn't fit before, if these would fit, they look to be just what the Dr. ordered...

Thanks

The ones I have stretch really easily, but are very tough--I've had mine for.....5 years now, I think. I was a skeptic myself, until a good friend got a pair and I tried his. My brother is even worse than me, and after I talked about mine so much he got a pair--now you'd think he worked for Muck he talkes about his so much. All of us have really big/wide feet.

Super easy to get on and off, and have decent ankle support. I could never wear LaCrosse because of the really tight ankle--if I ever got it on, couldn't get it back off. The tops roll down on the Muck, but when you roll it up it's a nice snug fit. These are the first (and only) rubber boots I've been able to wear since I was a kid.

I've tried umpteen different hunting boots, even tried to order a pair from Russel Moccasin (they didn't know if they could make them wide enough), and these are the absoulte best. I normally don't wear a thick sock, but I can, no problem. My brother has a problem with cold feet, and he got the more insulated ones (Woody Max?). I have the regular Woody--not sure they make it any more, but have one very similar (least insulated). If I ever wear these out, I'll buy another pair in a heartbeat.

I wear 15EEEE and have the same problem. I just have to keep my eyes open where ever I go and jump on the oportunity when I find it. No place can I count on to consistantly have something.
