So I will be going down to Patagonia in OCtober and staying for three months. (nols) I will be doing a mountaineering section for a month and they REQUIRE a double plastic mountaineering boot. I have size 15 feet. I have only found ONE PAIR that makes a size 15 (Lowa Civetto). Its about $350. Is there ANYTHING ELSE!? ANYTHING AT ALL!?
I wear a 13 – 48/49 in climbing boots (singles and doubles) and the baruntse in 49 were too small (volume) and baking the liner wasn't going to help. Of course, everybody's foot is different and a good boot-fitter might get them to work for you.
