Runamuk,

You might try a pair of LaSportiva's. They fit a low volume foot.

Call Lathrop and Son's, Tell them what your foot is like, what you want to use it for etc.  They will find the best fit for you.  Great guys with great service and the most comfortable boot I have ever had hands down.  (Lowa Tibet GTX)

Steve is a super smart fella when it comes to boots. Just got a pair of Lowa Khumbu 2 from him with their sweet footbeds. As said above, you will find no better customer service or knowledge.

Ouch!  Don't want to ever have to wear one of those!

I have the cabelas/miendle Perfect boot and love it.  Be aware it has a cork footbed that forms to your foot.  After wearing them for a while they start to feel loose, at that point add the provided shims beneath the footbeds.   (Didja read the instructions that came in the box?)

I own both Kenetrek and Schnees. Still can't quite get used to the heel slippage of teh Kenetreks. Have about 20 miles or so on them and still an issues.  The Schnees Beartooths have been amazing so far.  Perfect fit right out of the box.

Whites Boots. Have them make a boot for you. I got the Smokejumpers made for me and they fit perfect for $450 to my door.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Best boot ever in my opinion, but you shoulda done some more shopping.  I'm getting ready to order my fifth pair of the extremes, and was in shock when I couldn't find them for any cheaper than $410.  Even at that, they came with free Kenetrek gaitors.

I build boots for whites in spokane and of course I would recommend them. Alot of measuring and fitting goes into each pair and they are all built  by hand one at a time.  They last forever and Im sure there are more than a few on here that would vouch for me.  :twocents:
