Q. Wanting to know a good boot for denali accent snowshoes.i have a size 8 or 8 and half foot (Wide-ee width) Thanks, Lander.

A. Hi Lander,

With a double E width your choices of footwear are fairly limited but what I would recommend is trying a Sorel or Lacrosse - type boot. One that has a rubber lower with a leather upper and a removable felt liner. Thes boots generally can accomondate a wider width foot such as yours. We do not carry any boots that wide and to tell you the truth they are hard to come by. I have searched everywhere for a wide winter boot with no luck. I believe the Lacrosse brand has wider versions than Sorel. Check these websites: http://www.lacrosse-outdoors.com and http://sorel.com Good luck!
