I would like some advice on footwear from others with wide feet.  I just
tore the neoprene in another pair of booties trying to get them on my size
4E width feet.  This time it was a pair of Okespor Florida booties which I
really like because of the heel cushioning, height and the ability to walk
on stones with little pain.  The length of these booties was fine but they
were very tight in the width and uncomfortable on long paddles.  Has anyone
found a solution?

Thanks .

Richard

I have very narrow feet. I once bought a pair of felt-sole neoprene
wading booties from Cabela's for paddling and they were tremendously
wide. Like and extra 3/4" of space for me.
