    Lowa z8 width

    Can any body with a pair of z8s tell me about the width of these boots or better yet measure the inner sole I have slightly wider feet

    Thanks for any help

    You'll want the WXL width that they do, very narrow for Europeans otherwise. Pretty sure most of the Tibets and Ranger in this country are WXL

    What kind of country are you in? I found the soles on these so damn slippery, got rid of them because of it.

    I have a pair that I can measure but I wouldn't go there they are slippery mother f-----. I have just gone to rangers from Bivouac cheaper than H&F by $100.
    The z8 are not very good when carrying a load and sideling as well.

    I have Z8s GTX and find them great. Have used them in Stewart island bush, up the McCauley chasing Tahr in the snow, open tops in Hawkden Range, never had a problem with grip. That's just my opinion however.

    +1, these are my least favourite boots by far! I'd look into the Lowa Renegade, they have a good wide fit that it sounds like you need.
