Default Wide (High Volume foot) Classic boot recommendation?

I am getting a new pair of classic skis.

I have a very wide, high arch foot, and have had a lot of
trouble in the past with boot fitting.

I currently use old Fischer Centrix Skate boots on my classic
skis, but classic skiing puts an undue strain on the boots.

What brand should I look at? Salomon always hurt my feet.
Fischer started making their boots with narrower lasts.

Are Alpina boots still relatively wide?


Yes. You might also want to try Hartjes, which are extra roomy in
the toe box. Their only problem is durability -- they don't seem to
hold up nearly as well as my ancient Salomon boots.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Andrew
