Hello. I've got a slightly wider foot, and find that the La Sportiva Nepal Evo fits great. However, when I tried on the Baruntse, it seems really narrow, and pinched the outsides of both feet (something similar seemed to happen to another reviewer). A few questions: (i) is this a problem that simply heat thermo-molding the inners would likely fix? (ii) can the synethtic outer shell boots be "punched out" by a bootfitter in the same way that many plastic boot shells can be for people with wider feet?, or (iii) are there any other wider double boots other than big heavy plastic boots (e.g. Scarpa Inverno)? For example, do the Spantiks or the Scarpa 6000 seem to fit wider?

Thanks!

Just an update on my posting, I ended up getting the Barunste, and had the outer shells 'punched out' by a professional boot fitters. We went very slow and gradual -- he would punch them out a bit....I would try them out climbing...he's punch them out a bit more...I'd try them again....etc. Eventually, he got them just right, and they climb and hike perfectly now. The 'punching out' process seemed to cause absolutely no damage to the boots, but we decided to go slow and in small increments, just to be sure. I used this boots on the volcanoes in Ecuador up to 6,000m, and they were super warm and comfortable. I also use them for ice climbing in Canada when it's just too cold for my Nepal Evos, and they seem to climb technical ice just fine. While not quite as nice to climb in as my Nepal Evo's, they're way more comfortable than my old Scarpa Invernos, and they seem super durable so far. So bottom line - a great boot, and they seem to fit wide feet just fine with a bit of patient work with a boot fitter.... Brad.
