Motorbike boots widths / sizes

[mickdel]

My feet are unusually wide and each one has a titanium reinforced joint in it that doesn't move any more - so I have to have nearly all my boots and shoes made to fit.

I agree with Flesh - Daytona Roadstars are wider and slightly longer than the normal 'standard' size boots made by Sidi, Alpinestars etc. I can't get my extra wide plates into any Italian made boots, but the Daytona's have plenty of room, which is handy for thick winter socks.

They're expensive; but worth the investment if you can stretch to it. I've had mine for four years and about 70,000 miles so far and they fit as well as the day I bought them. Years of wear left in them, too.

Altberg - I've not had bike boots from them, but I've had a pair of walking boots and a pair of walking shoes made by them to fit me. Can't fault them for service and quality and the prices are not too bad, considering the product.

I would buy Daytona and Altberg again at the drop of a hat.

Crikey, what happened to your feet with the titanium bits?
Forgot to add my daytona's were 199 and the guy said that you can send them off to have a new sole fitted when the time comes.  he said that he has riders who have had the boots for donkey's years, and are on their third sole.
Not sure I'd want to keep them too long as the safety will probably improve with design and time.
