I finally found out this year that I have wide feet, after beating the heck out of the little dogs for years. I ordered the SL M3 wide, hearing that Scarpa was a good boot. It's awesome! Fit comfy right out of the box, beefy and strong, no blisters or complaints, until...Once the leather softened up, my left foot started sliding forward and banging my toes. TOO MUCH VOLUME for my bony little feet. Had to take 'em back. Now, does anyone make a WIDE, LOW VOLUME boot for people with duck feet? I can only fill up the shoe with so much extra stuff before the reality is just that my feet are too wide, but too low volume to find a comfy boot for me. Oh well, next stop, Vasque Sundowner, 9 wide, here I come...Any other suggestions?
