I know there have been threads on this in the past but since the searchbar sucks dick i need some help. Ive got pretty small but wide feet and was wondering what boots run pretty wide.. and also if you could give me a good shop to get fitted for the recommended boots in SLC that would be a cherry on top.. thanks +K for help

Bootfitter! 

Seriously.  I have a EEE width foot, and I don't even bother trying on boots.  I just ask my BOOTFITTER what he can make wide enough for me.

yeah, ive got some thick ass, wide feet too. look into atomic overloads, the shell turns to rubber up at the widest part of the foot, accounting for up to 106 mm. also, SPK's feel really good for me.

Go to a bootfitter, who does custom work, not just some dude to try on boots, and when he doesn't find a boot that fits perfectly don't just leave, hear him out about custom fitting. Spk is a superhigh volume boot, and there might be a better fit out there for u, but in the 110 to 130 flex range it is one of the biggest out there. just try a ton on, and the bootfitter that has the best plan on how to fit ur foot, as far as custom fitting, go with him

Most good shops can heat up the boot and make the area of the boot wider that's what they do with mine and they always work fine

Find out where the local racer kids go.  Race boots are designed to be stretched/ground/lifted/canted/lowered.  Whoever does that work for them, can make a boot fit for you. 

Don't just look at forefoot last width.  Heel and instep volume are both just as important as forefoot width. 

The boot that fits you properly may not be the boot that you wanted, and it may not be cheap, but it's worth it.
