Ask NS any question about boots and this is your answer...

They go up to size 31.5 and he said that he measures a 32.5...



Now, question to the OP:
Is 14 your shoe size? because if it is that's nothing to base your boot size off of. I've fitted kids that wear 12 shoes in 26.5 boots (26.5 is a size 8.5 shoe). Go to a bootfitter, see what they have in stock and have them measure your foot. It's quite possible that you are in fact a smaller size than you think.

This. Go get sized. A lot of manufacturers make boots above 32, but not in every width. Go to a reputable boot-fitter who can tell you about what might be available to order, not just what they have in stock. And from my experience, people need usually need a smaller boot than they think.

Just because you measure a 32, doesn't mean you are actually a 32. A proper footbed helps immensely to shorten the boot.

Hell, I measure a 28.5 and i'm in 27.5s

thanks for all the help guys. I have been to a couple fitters, but they both sucked. So I am still trying to find someone who knows what they are doing.

and thank you to whoever k raped me. seeing as I have so much to spare. I hope you feel cool taking K from someone who just got on the site.

Most companies still have the weirdo sizes in stock all year round.
