[QUOTE="rohanmce, post: 1231241, member: 81693"] Hi Glade Greetings from a fellow Aussie with big feet. I wear US15/EU49-50 shoes in a wide fit. In 2019 I walked the Frances in Keen boots. They were effective but relatively bulky and heavy and my feet were always ‘hot’. This year I’m walking again in September. Unfortunately, I cannot find a Hoka to fit me, they are too narrow in the toe area. I recently got some Altra Lone Peaks and found them to be quite a comfortable fit. Width is really good. Length is OK and whilst I contemplated getting a US16, I stuck with the size15. I found the Lone Peaks did not give me much protection on stony trails. I then put some Superfeet orange insoles in and whilst they don’t give complete coverage underfoot in the toebox, things improved but I was still not completely convinced they were the best option. With some trepidation, I then got a pair of Altra Olympus 5 shoes and these proved to everything that I needed. I’m convinced these will do the job. I think either of the Altras would be fine but for me the extra padding on the Olympus clinched it. In Australia you can source these large sizes from the Altra Running online store. [/QUOTE]
