Just going to throw this out there. If the Agent's fit you well, then take a look at the Nordica Ace of Spades. It is built off the same platform as the Agent, with the big toe area slightly enlarged.

I spent 2 years in an Agent, fought a Ghost all last year, then got in the Nordica's and it felt like coming home. And you get the benefits of a 3 piece design.

But see a bootfitter.

with the size of your feet, you're going to be limited to what you can wear.

go see a bootfitter

But there were 3 different lasts in the "Agent" lineup: 98mm, 100mm, and 102mm. Without knowing which Agent he was in, it will be hard to recommend a boot.

And as always, go see a boot-fitter who can actually see your feet and find the right last/flex for you. Every brand makes good quality boots now, you just need someone who can help select a boot for you, which cannot be done over the interwebz.
