Hi. I need some big boots for summer alpine climbing. I'm size 14ish, about euro51. Why does nobody make boots that big?

Probably not exactly what you have in mind, but they do a boot that will take a crampon. Worth knowing about anyway if you've got unusual feet (and even if you haven't as they are beautifully made).

Nice but need something more technical.
Thanks

Because they wouldn't sell many, same reason as I really struggle to get winter boots too (but at the other end of the spectrum!). It sucks being an odd size, eh?

I think I read that La Sportiva will make any of their boots in any size, as long as you pay up front.

Edit: maybe not any size:

I've got the same problem man! I've looked into Lowa's not sure if they go up to a 51 but worth a look

Thanks but they don't look big enough either.
