Wide Walking and Hiking Boots

Q. I am a trail/hill walker. My 10 year old boots (once resoled) are cracking and need replacing. I have a broad foot and have tried on many leading brand boots, but all seem too narrow.

Does anyone know of a medium weight leather boot (other than the Scarpa SL XX) preferably not with a high ankle which is broader than average?

A. At Catstycam, the Outdoor Shop in Glenridding, Cumbria, Tel: 017684 82351, we offer a boot stretching & modifying service and will guarantee the fit of the boot for the life of the boot. We also carry a large range of top quality boots that'll fit almost any foot (providing its human!)

I know we're a long way from Nottingham - but it might be worth a visit. We're based at the Southern end of Ullswater at the base of Helvellyn and the walking round here is fantastic.
