Hiking boots with wide toe, narrow heel?

[Kattt]

I am looking for some hiking boots for my husband to hike the Swiss Alps this summer. He only wears logger’s boots and those won’t do. He has a very shallow instep, wide toe area and narrow heels. We are not looking for trail runners although I am aware of all the advantages. Can anyone point us to some light boots that come in different toe box widths? I have the Oboz and like them but the entire boot is wide when buying it wide and my husband has narrow heels.
Thanks  for any help.

I’ve found the Keen Targhee line to be a bit wider than most. La Sportiva  Nucleo High II GTX come in wide and that’s what I’m currently wearing. I went up a full size. A bit lighter than the Keen’s and a bit more comfortable. Good price on Amazon. Some sizes were ” try before you buy”. Amazon is pretty good on returns anyway. They feel snug on my heels. They have a unique way of hooking the laces at the top. Half the time, I don’t even tie them. I think it’s a good looking boot as well. Good reviews on YouTube.

Those La Sportiva sound really good but the price is ouchy!!  Might be worth regardless. Thanks for the suggestion

They’re over $200 at REI. I paid $145 on Amazon. Different sizes were different prices for some reason. Price varied by color as well.
