I can no longer find a pair of boots that is listed above EE. I'm trying to buy new Coyote boots for the new uniform and I can't find a single pair wide enough. I've tried ordering online but no luck. Anyone know of a custom manufacturer that makes EXTRA wide anymore?

Yes my husband wears a wide, but I have seen extra wide coyote boots on eBay.

Thanks CSM...it's killing me. I've tried on about 10-11 different pairs at this point. I just found the pair in tan that I am currently wearing and trying that one next. I never used to have an issue, but it seems like recently the boots are getting more and more narrow.

That would be the 4E width. There are a few Danners and Carolinas out there but size availability is spotty. Also, getting the right "coyote" vs. a tan is likely a problem.

This is purely a suggestion, and might obv involve some cost, certainly. However for whatever it might be worth, have you ever given any thought to trying to find anyone by you that might actually make custom shoes and or boots, as well as other footware? I'm reasonably certain such capability still exists though it is obv rare in the present day certainly , that's all I'm trying to say, honest. If I find anything I'll try to submit it here on the off chance it might possibly do you any good, if you might have an interest, you never know, I might luck out and find something that might be worthwhile looking into, honest, many thanks, hope was useful .

I follow, try looking at and or calling that one group I had sent the link for, if only to be able to chat with them, if nothing else. Also you could ask TRICARE possibly and or any of the VA facilities around you, ive known of instances where svc mbrs could posbly ask for VA Hosp help if their own installation might not have something they needed. It's rare admittedly, however, I have seen and or known of such instances. What you're seeking might well fall in such a spectrum of possibilities, assuming the cost formyoumto lay out initially might be prohibitive. Then too you might consider paying yourself if the cost is manageable, and possibly seeing if you could get reimbursed, or, purely as another thought, if provided as a necessary clinical expense, directly related to and or relevant for or needed in your work, which, I'd expect, might well be the case from the standpoint purely of comfort, you might ask possibly someone experienced and or competent in such things whether you might conceivably be able to submit such a purchase as a tax deduction. Please understand I obviously have no idea whether any of the foregoing might be at all doable, it's just that your problem merely struck me as of interest, so I just figured I'd offer a few purely off the cuff suggestions, merely on the off chance any of them might conceivably do you any good , that's all, honest, hope you find any of it of any potential value, would be most eager to know your thoughts further, whenever might be convenient.
