My feet are wide and flat as a duck, and I always have trouble finding comfortable footwear.

I used to have a great pair of Engineers boots.

These were comfortable and they were the first boots I wore out.

I have been looking on and off for these for about a year.

13EE or 13 XXwide is all I can find.

If you need something off the shelf or just don't want to wait for a custom boot. I would recommend the timberland pro boondock. When I worked at a boot store that was the boot I sold all the big guys with really wide feet. It has an extremely wide toe box for people whose toes stick out. It is only going to be listed in medium and wide. But the medium is really wide and the wide is really extra wide. I only sold the safety toe so I don't know what the soft toe is like but soft toes always feel wider.

Yeah they do look a little like clown shoes but they are big wide and very comfortable.

Their wide size is 2E but ty anyway.

Oh I just saw the 6E sorry. Honestly first if you can find a store with them give them a try because their wife really is wider than 2E. Also if I remember correctly Carolina makes one or two boots in a extra extra wide. We had one guy who needed a something like you need and I think we were able to get them from Carolina. Obviously not something anyone would have on the shelf, but it was a normal production boot. So it cost the same and didn't need extra time for a custom boot

I think we got him these, but I don't remember for sure. They say 4E, so not sure if they will work for you, but I do remember this guy has tried every and that was the first boot he didn't rub this toes in.
