I also have wide feet and bunions which make most footwear into a torture device in minutes Blundstone boots are the best thing I have ever owned for general all purpose barn work and riding, however they are very expensive if you buy them in the US. My friends and I all buy them from this site Down Under and they are not only cheap but these people are incredibly helpful and shipping is not expensive and they can get them to you in under a week! These boots are incredibly long wearing and amazingly comfortable. I wear the classic style which seems to be wide enough even for me. Here is their link.

I can get my feet into cowboy boots...but then can think of nothing else but getting them off!! The best-fitting riding boots I have found are Blundstone boots...the pull on waterproof type. They are for sale at many tack stores. However, they still may not be big enough. Another alternative might be motorcycle boots. Years ago I bought a very small men's pair of Italian zip up motorcycle boots. They were actually too big (I wear a women's size 6 1/2 to 7)...and the smallest men's sizes are always too big. Anyway...they have a side zipper that allows one to get them on without struggle. These are not the really heavy "engineer's boots" that are sometimes used for motorcycle riding. Motorcycle boots have a heel on them, similar to a cowboy boot...though not as high. Anyone have any suggestions what kind of riding boot I can >get?...one that will go over a very thick foot and ankle? >Sue in N.B. (Desert Storm's mom) Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
