I wear a pair of SIDI MEGA GORTEX, they have a wide foot fitting and are adjustable in dimension for the calf area, worth a try. They tend to be small in their measurements and the next size up to normal sizing.

Yup. Easily.

As Icanopit said the whole back of the boot is adjustable. You just ratchet-in.

Mine (Mega Gortex) ain't completely waterproof though. Toes at the sliders seep in.

Agree with STRAMASHER , had heard similar problem, BUT prior to wearing I removed sliders etc and gave the sole/toe are a good "going over" with DUBBIN wax and this seems to have sealed any leak areas nicely, now worn for 2yrs without issues.

Not sure what the current cost is but I was "lucky" to get a pair for £175 form Ghost Bikes
The NEC is due soon there can very often be some good bargains to be found if haggled??
