i've been looking into shoes and nothing is in my size that i have found, i've been looking for trail shoes that are size 17(us) and if i found something its like 360 dollars. is there anything that is about 100? i need help.
6' 3" and size 17 shoes(us) only 16 and i ride a trek 4300 07 (got it on 2-7-07) and i have 470 mile on it. with countless scars.

  • Size 17?! flippin nora.

    You could get some specially made, then get the sole replaced with the same stuff that is on the bottom of 5:10 trail shoes. (Dave Hill knows that site that can replace the sole, I can't remember).
  • sandals with your toes hanging out? Those are some huge feet there! Never again will I complain when they don't have my size in something i like!

    sorry, couldn't help myself, just messing about. If i knew where to get some size 17 shoes or boots from i would have helped, it's just that my feet aren't that big!

    You must have a MASSIVE........................pair of socks!
  • I would try emailing or writing a few companys explaining your dilemma, you never know someone might sort you out with a pair for free if your lucky ???

    well i was going to email shimano but their email is out for now.

    but another thing i am worried about custom shoes is that my feet are still growing and i don't want to buy a pair of 400 dollar shoes that i will only get to use for one season. (i'm only 16 and still growing)

    thanks for the advise to far.

    How tall are you? :shock:

    Do you swim? If not, you should probably start! With feet like that you would probably be in the 2012 squad!
