Touring boots for wide feet?

I'm after a pair of touring boots but I have quite wide feet and have struggled in the past finding boots that fit well. Any one have though on the full tilt ascendant? They look like a strong wide boot wich is what I'm looking for.

Go to a boot fitter, that's really the only way you're gonna find the perfect fit.

Try on some Full tilt B&E's. I use to look like I had 6 toes on each feet because of how bad my feet were squeezed. But, I switched over and everything has been golden

FWIW, the B&E and Ascendant should fit almost identically as they use the same Descendant shell, so if you can try on a B&E or Descendant, the fit should translate for the Ascendant.

Other options would be the Scarpa Maestrale series, Dalbello Lupo AX series, Nordica Striders, or Rossi Alltracks. I'm sure I'm missing some, but really, going to a bootfitter is the best option by far.

Also the salomon qst series is a wider boot I love how that performs I have two pairs of them. the atomic hawx is another good one. that plastic moves soo damn much its insane.

Had to get them widened a bit more, but I have never been more comfortable in a ski boot than my current Lupo AX's. I put Intuition ID Pro's in them for some extra support, and still feel fine for touring. I have also used my intuition liners from my Il Moro's which were softer and were great for longer tours. Unreal ankle motion with the tongues out.

The Dalbello Lupo AX as mentioned above is one of the roomiest touring boots on the market. I haven't put it on yet but have heard the new Hoji is pretty big. If your foot is wide but not SUPER wide you can surprisingly make the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD move quite a bit as well.

FT Ascendant .. 102mm width but can be blown out an extra ~6-8mm. Same fit as other FTE shell FT's but with a higher back cuff for more control. We sold out very early last year due to the salo-tomic shift bindings that everyone bought and were looking for a more freeride focused boot with tech fittings that were wide.

I've heard great things about the FT Ascendant being a really strong boot that can take alot of abuse. Its definitely another boot I'll check out
