Forgive me, mods, if this is in the wrong section but I figured I'd have the widest audience here for this particular question.

I wear a size 10.5 4E men's running shoe and am in need of a hiking shoe/boot. I have tried the following shoes (10.5 Wide) and all of them have turned out to not be wide enough.

Salomon Men's Quest 4D 2 GTX Hiking Boot (widest I tried but still too tight)
Vasque Men's St. Elias GTX Backpacking Boot
Lowa Men's Renegade II GTX LO Hiking Boot
Lowa Men's Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boot
Merrell Moab Ventilator Wide Hiking Shoes
Merrell Moab Waterproof Wide Hiking Shoes
Merrell Moab Rover Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots

I don't mind spending up to about $400 - $500 if I can find a quality waterproof boot/shoe that fits me. Do any of the folks in here that hike out to locations have any suggestions?

Call Merrell's customer service. They can give you very good information over the phone. And if you buy from REI and after using them don't like them they have a very good return policy. I returned a pair of Lowa boots many months after buying them when started to stiffen up on me.

I tried the 3 Merrells at the local Dick's but the others I got from Amazon who have a no questions asked return policy with no restocking fee (assuming it is still in new condition).

I don't think zappos or my credit card would appreciate that.
