My husband has a short, but wide foot. We are hiking in Denali National Park later this year and he needs a good sturdy hiking boot but needs a wide width. Any suggestions about who makes a wide hiking boot. He wears a size 8 EEE width.

I have an 11 EEE - F foot and have been hiking in KEEN TARGHEE II Mid-Hiking boot for almost a year now. I've had no problem getting my flippers into them and even after they get soaked inside and out they kept their shape.
There was little to no break-in time, so your husband should be able to get them on and go.
All in all KEEN make some of the best footwear for the man with a more robust foot.
The only down side is they do look a bit like Clown shoes when you get them on. I got over that quickly and have taken these boots everywhere.
I think if they can do Northern Canada in Spring, and North Carolina in Summer they should be good for what you need.
Hope that helps.
