Indeed.

I looked up my fave boots, Sidi Onroads, but they only go up to 15.  Sorry.

AWSOME! Thank you! I saw those boots last night on amazon but didnt see the other colors or the sizes!. 16 may be a bit small. But i think Ill call the company and ask them about their size. Maybe they can send me a copy of the foot bed so I can see of me dainty footsies arent too big.
Quote from: "HockleyBoy"These run to a size 16 and are in stock at the moment:

As I told a national and regional sales manager who were laughing at my feet....

" Barns stand on big foundations.......
Out Houses stand on smaller ones."

I wear a 15 .... would love to wear a 14!

Red Wing came out with some black ankle high boots that are
waterproof leather and a molded sole. I wear them all the time.
 About $100....
they may carry larger. Good Luck

I checked out Redwing. I'm SOL.

I know nothing about these other than the front page says they make boots up to size 17. Might be worth a look. :?:

Although based in the UK, you could try Altberg. http://www.altberg.co.uk/Web/ who have a good reputation and do made to measure.

finally got some composite toe size 17 6" boots. Pretty interesting boots. Made by Converse. Incredibly light yet thick leather and the one surprise benefit is a highly reflective stripe going up the middle of the laces. When you got boats like mine you cant always choose your shoes. They choose you.

I was about to suggest Altberg as well but Blacktiger beat me to it. Worth considering if you want to treat yourself while the pound is still weak  :D  highly regarded and although not cheap, they will probably outlast most riders. I just realised the irony of a guy your height wearing a pair of AltBerg boots.

If they can't see you coming flashy laces aren't going to help  :shock: , on second thoughts you may well have a point with the size of shadow you cast  :oops:

Glad you found something though, must be a real chore.
