I have somewhat of a wider foot and am looking for a par/freeride boot. I have heard that SPK's will fit my wide foot but also that they r hella cheaply built and bust easily, and also heard that Dabellos are for skinny foot people. I would like to get some FT's since they have replaceable parts and diff stiffness tounges, but i dunno if they have a boot that will fit my wide foot.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to some FT's that will fit my foot, or any other boots that i should be looking at

You are stupid. He gave you the best advice anyone is gonna give you in this thread. I don't know what your foot is like, I don't know whats going to fit your feet. A bootfitter however will.

I have a wide foot and i use spk kaos boots.  There great boots and are very durable.  Also their lighter then the SPK pros so thats a + too.  You should definitly go to a boot fitter to find the perfect boot but definitly try the spk kaos, their sick (y)

Go michigan!!! I know a couple places where you could try on boots. Birmingham and Ann Arbor both have shops that I am pretty sure are open all year. I am guessing you should just go for spk's.  But just find the boot you want and then get it for cheaper online :)

Thanks for the advice.....

And yes, to everyone else i understand the fact that bootfitters will help me with that, the only problem is i didnt know of any bootfitters that would be open in michigan, as it is July and 90 degreef F here so all the ski stuff is tucked away.

Honestly boots fit everyone differently there's really not that much I can tell you other than FT's are generally narrower and you shouldn't buy them just because everyone says they're amazing. Don't buy Salomon boots they're a joke. and try Technica if you have a wide foot. They make really good boots that are wide fitting.

oh, so you want boots in July that you will not use before December, someone gives you good advice, and you are a dick to him for it because you want boots 5 months before you ski.  And he never said bro, so saying BRAAA a ton isn't even making fun of him, dick.
But, yes, "I have wide feet" is perfect for those online bootfitters, maby even enough for BC.com's  livechat guy to fit you perfectly.
