Hello,

My original 20 year old Vasque Sundowner's are ready for replacement. I am also a volunteer sawyer so any replacement boots need to be regular above the ankle height and preferably leather. I also have wide feet so the boots need to be available in wide sizes.

I have recently tried a pair of Vasque St. Elias in a 9W. While the boot fits the toe box is just too small and will never break-in thanks to the rubber toe cap. You can read about this experience here:

I just looked at the L.L. Bean Cresta Hikers and they seem to have durability issues since the sourcing has been moved to Romania from Italy.

Anybody got any other suggestions to look at?
