I too have wide feet. I like Salomon's (especially if you have a shop that will punch them out for free) and Head's. I've never skied nordica's.

i had to try on over 30 pairs of boots before i could find one wide enough. oddly enough i ended up with a pair of woman's nordica "wide" boots. check 'em out.

check out the Vento 10 HVL

HVL stands for high volume..aka for wide ass feet.

also check out the lange fluid 80 FR. I know everyone thinks langes are narrow, but i tried on the Fluid 80 Fr, and i have super wide feet, and im gonna buy those.

yea im lookin for a pure allround boot. i want the flex in the 85 to 95/100 range and alittle heel cushoning. i was lookin at the scratches n the foils cuz they both seem to be allround boots but im not sure if they are wide enough. my foot width around the ball of my foot is 11 1/2 inches or 29cm and my foot is roughly 4 7/8 inches from the ball of my foot to the outside edge from like side to side

seriously, just go to your local shop, get measured up, try on a boot with an insert in there, gives you added arch support and also they are thinner than the ones that come in the boots.


go by what feels right, not what some random teenager who knows nothing about boots says on the internet.
