Default riding boots- who makes wide width boots?

I stopped at my local cycle shop to check out riding boots. All they had in a style I liked was Shift but nobody seemed to know if they come ( or are available ) in wide widths?

Something in the general style like these Icons


Or these Shifts



I have a pair of A* MXS-4 but want a pair that easier to get into my locker at work.

Part of the problem is my feet, in New Balance sneakers, I wear a size 12 EEEE

Thanks
Jeff

Got a reply from Icon to my email ( pretty good -- less than two hours from time sent to reply )

Thank you for the email, Jeff.

Unfortunately, we do not offer our boots in wide versions; they are all
the standard width.

I guess Icons are off the list.

I wear 10EEEE. I had the first pair of Icon boots. They're manageable for a little bit, but still quite snug. I suggest giving motorcyclegear.com a call (formerly New Enough). They may be able to steer you towards wide boots. They have Sidi Way Mega boots in EE widths, according to their site. They may have a list of other wide boots also.

Also, this thread may be of use. Good luck man. I know how much of a pain in the ass it is. I've got super high arches which compounds the problem immensely.

Good freaking luck. The only boots I found that fit my wide feet are Sidi.

I emailed them and this was the reply

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for writing. We have only three styles that are specifically made in wide sizes. The new Solution boot from Tour Master might have some appeal for you. 4E sounds really wide though. Only thing you could do is try them. We haven't had any feedback on fit that would be helpful I'm afraid.

Long ago, we used to carry a brand called cruiserworks that made all sorts of wide and narrow sizes. Most styles were sort of cruiser styles, but you might give that a go on Google and see what you can find.

Have a good weekend.

Paul


Not the shorter style I want but at least something.

Sidi's start at just under $200. That's stretching my budget right now.

Have you looked at the SMX2? They are very similar to the SMX 4 boots but lower cut.
