    I'm looking for extra large boots

    I am looking for a supplier of boots that will fit my size 13 EEE feet. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that carries boots of that size or, alternatively, is there a place in New Zealand that makes custom boots?

    The only genuine 13eee I have seen are my Johnny Rebs.
    I was measured as 13eee on one of them fancy machines.
    If you like the old fashioned styles.

    I fit Gaerne boots pretty well. Any good bike retailer should stock or be able to get them.
    Available in sporty or touring.

    Fox boots fit quite well if you are after off road.

    Almost every thing else is too narrow across the bridge when trying to get the foot in.

    I'm not a 13eeeeeeeee but i do have a large wide foot. The Gaerne size 48 fits me nicely (USA size 13)

    48 is UK13, not US. It's a US 14.

    I beg to differ.

    It's wrong. There's not a size chart that agrees with you. Also the Japanese conversion is wrong on that label.

    Here's one I made earlier.

    I prefer to go by the manufacturer of the boot.

    I can not fit ANY Uk size 13 shoe or boot. Ever. Or a USA size 12.

    I can fit a size 48, and a USA 13.

    Also, I have never seen a 46.5 or a 48.5.. and this boots are a 48, not a 48.5, or w 48.5W.

    The boot manufacturer is wrong. Simple. The focus of my chart was the UK sizing because that is what is standard here in NZ.

    Here's some more charts.

    Try the buggers on before you buy. Sizes do vary from different brands.

    right, so go and buy a set of Gaerne boots size 48 if you have size 14 US feet.

    You'll be sending them back BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SMALL.

    It doesnt matter what size you think they should be, its what the person who manufactured them made them to be. Gaerne size 48 = US size 13. I take US size 13. My in laws send me shoes from the USA, all size 13. Back when I was a young fella and shoes came in USA sizes, I took size 13. I have taken size 13 for 35 fricken years.

    Now I take UK size 48. Every pair I have, has on in the inside, USA size 13.

    Go away.
