dabdab Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I currently wear Alpine stars size 42 Problem- I have a wide foot, high instep, and large BIG TOES The Stars are a tight fit, even after 3 years, but I swim in the next size up I have to wear the thinnist socks I can find , BUT still the TOE room is a problem if there is a bit of section walking involved[ I cant help but notice that all of the trials boots look alike, as though designed by the same Italian fashion guru Which trials boots have the biggest TOE BOX with the most TOE ROOM ? Can anyone comment please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 My Diadora's were much wider than my Gaerne's are. I always go for the bigger ones and adjust with extra socks and Gortex socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 My hebo's seem ok in the toe box - but shy in the calf room dept. I think you really need to try several brands and see for yourself about the best fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger17 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I can't comment on trials boots but I used to get a load of problems with my walking boots, stubbing big toes on long downhill stretches. Don't know what it's like over your side of the world, but here in the UK there are quite a few walking boot shops that will now adapt/stretch your boots if they're tight on a given spot. Apparently a lot of walking boots have a plastic box to form the toe cap and a plastic cup for the heel. They boil the boot up to soften the plastic and then stretch the offending spot out until it's sorted. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joekarter Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 It sounds like you and I have the same kinda foot. I have a pair of Novagars and while not the best made boot, they do fit very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
