Is anyone aware of a backcountry ski boot that comes in a wide size? I pull up lame after a couple hours in regular width boots and it is making long trips virtually impossible.

I contacted Alpina, and was told very nicely that they do not make a true "wide" boot. I am trying to contact all of the manufacturers, but suspect that I already know the answer. If you find one, let us know.

Have you thought about stretching the boots? If the boots are tight in the area behind the toes (wide part of foot), a professional stretch could help. Provided there is enough leather there. Use a shoe or leather repair place or a skate & ski shop. Price 10 - 20 per boot. Worth asking about. Dan

No answer, but I have the same problem. My Rossignol BCx11's size 48 (the largest I have found) are killing my feet due to the narrow forefoot to the point where I'm considering giving up skiing and just resorting to snowshoes. I wish there was some way we could communicate to the ski boot manufacturers that there are skiers out there with big/wide feet. Keen has done a great job of this in the shoe/hiking boot market.
