"Stupidly" wide dealer boots

Any recommendations for general mucky wear? Don't mind paying for it.

Background - usually have a pair of Grubs ankle height boots as what I normally wear day in day out but the quality of those has dropped off recently. It needs to be something similar in terms of waterproofness and handling mud and slip ons. I don't need safety toes and in fact would rather not.

Years ago I went to get a pair of boots from Snow+Rock and the chap measured my foot and commented yeah they're wide. Dissappeared into the storeroom behind me and then a few moments later poked his head out and exclaimed "they're not wide, they're ****ing obscene".

I tried the wide fitting version of Redbacks but couldn't even get my foot through the entrance of them.

I have similar trouble with boots and shoes, I had my feet measured and they are 6E or H fitting. I ordered some Blundstones a while back and couldn't get my feet into them.

Same here. Its the bane of my life, wide feet. Don't believe what manufacturers say either, most extra wide boots aren't.
Not dealer boots, i know, but I use these Amblers at work, they are meant to be a extra, extra wide and do fit me. They only last about six - eight months, but I'm pretty hard on them. They are abou £90 and I keep a pair in stock.
The only downside is, they are quite heavy.
