Seeking Recommendations for Waterproof Hiking Boots for Wide Feet

Oboz Bridgers have been perfect for my wide feet. They’ve held up well and feel very comfortable.

I’ve had Oboz in the past and really miss them. They were excellent boots.

I’ve had good experiences with Topo and Lem’s, both offer wide options.

Salomon also has a couple of wide-fit boot options that might be worth checking out.

I recently upgraded to the latest model, and it’s designed to last longer. It’s also sufficiently wide.

Is it wide enough for you?

Yes, it’s plenty wide. However, I’d still recommend trying them on to make sure they fit well.

Lowa Camino EE has been a game-changer for my exceptionally wide feet.

They don’t sell the newest model here in Israel yet. I’d need to order it from eBay.

I’ve been using Keen Targhees and they’ve been quite accommodating for my wide feet.

Keen’s quality control can be hit or miss. Some pairs last for years under harsh conditions, while others fall apart quickly. If you experience delamination, consider using Barges contact cement or AquaSeal SR to repair them, but avoid using Shoe Goo as it doesn’t hold up well over time.

I found Danner Jag II boots at REI and they’ve been perfect for my wide toe box. They’re durable and didn’t require any break-in period. I loved them so much, I got a second pair as a gift.

My Targhee 3’s have shown slight wear on the sides, but they’re still holding up well. Salomon Ultra 4 Wide’s are another great option, especially if you prefer lightweight boots. Just be aware they might not keep your feet warm in cooler weather.

Keens are known for their wide fitting. They hit a sweet spot in terms of price and quality. They’re good for casual hiking but might not withstand intense, frequent hikes.

Thank you for the insight!

I recently replaced my Keen Targhees after many years and miles of use. They held up well but eventually needed replacing. I opted for Merrell Moab 3s on sale and based on good reviews from my partner. If you’re unsure, it might be worth trying out the Targhees to see how they work for you.
