HELP! EEEE - EEEEEE hunting boots?

kludge · 09-09-2008

Anyone know of anywhere near Indy where they STOCK and a can TRY ON hunting boots in 12 EEEE or wider? And no, 13 EE are not wide enough.

Been to Gander Mountain, Dick's, Target, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Sears, and called "The Shoe Fits" and the "New Balance Store" and they don't stock the size.

Must be waterproof, insulated and have good tread. Not looking for PAC boots, I already have some that fit. I have had a pair of Reeboks with tread that sucks for about 10 years and they are no longer waterproof and the insides are worn out and the soles are broken down.

I am not going to deal with mail order and pay for shipping 3 times before I can find anything that fits, regardless, I've been searching the internet for weeks and I can only find one place, Cabela's, that might even have the right size, and that's too far to drive to try on.

And no I can't afford $400 or more for custom made boots, the $169 they want at Cabela's is a real stretch.

Try Sportsmans Guide, they have a search feature where you can search by size and width.
I know they have EEEE.

Zappos.com - Free Shipping has free return shipping and great customer service.

How about a Red Wing store. The mgr at one told me he'd get anything in if I wanted to try it.

Zappos. Several good purchases from them.

Zappos.com - Free Shipping and Shoes from Shoebuy.com - Free Shipping & Return Shipping have good selections and there is no charge for shipping. You can order several pairs, then send back those you don't like for whatever reason, since they comp the return shipping as well.

I've ordered boots of the same style in three different sizes before and then just returned the two that didn't fit.

Other mail order (but you have to pay for shipping):

Hitchcock - Wide Shoes for Men - Mens Wide Shoes, Extra Wide Shoes, EEEE, Orthopedic Shoes (Hitchcock Shoes)
Men's and Women's brand name shoes available at bamason.com

Nice find on the free shipping both ways. I should pick up a pair of boots since winter is right around the corner.

Now I just need to find a style I like, any recommendations?

The Rocky Boot Factory in Nelsonville, OH. Long drive but welllll worth it. I have bought my boots exclusively from them the past 20 years, and that is not because I stopped looking elsewhere. Quality, PRICE, and very large selection, they've got it all. My Dad's been shopping there for 50 years probably. Bought a pair of Cornstalkers there about 5 years ago that I still wear... and I paid $25 for them, no kidding (there was a small defect that didn't affect anything but cosmetic). Anyways, if you are heading that way, worth the stop.

Does Rocky Boot Factory have widths up 4E, 5E, 6E, etc.?
