Question: Size 14 rain boots in Canada

baking soda — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:39:11 -0800

Where in Ontario, Canada can I get some size 14 rain boots?

Canadian Tire, Mark's Work Warehouse, forget about it. Even my usual zappos.com or shoebuy.com aren't coming through for me. Is there some other obvious rain boot retailer that I'm missing like a big fishing / outdoors outfitter chain? I wouldn't be averse to insulated rubber boots aka winter rain boots. Many thanks.

Do you have a TSC nearby? I picked up a pair of steel-toed wellies there a few weeks ago and I think they might have bigger sizes.

Further restrictions: if going with e-commerce I either need to be able to return them if they don't fit, or there have to be plenty of reviews saying "this shoe felt true to size" a la zappos and shoebuy. I finally found some rain boots at zappos, they got moved to outdoors.zappos.com but they don't meet my above requirements, doh.

I was going to suggest Mountain Equipment Co-op. If not there, perhaps Sporting Life?

Have you tried asking at CT or MWW? I imagine they don't stock that size, but they might be able to special order something...

Zappos don't ship to Canada anyway. Have you tried big & tall shops?

baking soda,

I have size 16 feet! I've started getting all my shoes online.

In particular, I've gotten a lot of my shoes from Oddball Shoes

They have a good return policy, you just have to pay shipping. I've had to return a pair of shoes once, so I've been through the whole process and it worked great.

I'm looking right now and after a cursory search, I don't see rain boots, but they have several hiking boots that may fit the bill.

Zappos doesn't ship to Canada but they sell to Canada so you just need to get someone in the states to forward them to you.

I'm thinking my best bet is an Outfitter store which there should be a few of up here in northern Ontario. There must be a big chain Canadian outfitter store that sells online...

Are you sure that Canadian Tire isn't an option? I have size 14 feet and got some insulated rubber boots from Canadian tire last year that fit. I found they fit much larger than normal. Go down to your local Canadian Tire and try some on. Also with the insulated boots you can perhaps remove the lining and instantly have a boot that's a size or 2 bigger.

Well I went into Mark's Work Warehouse and they didn't have my size, but apparently they carry my size and are ordering some in for me. Just one of those things I guess; the last Mark's I went to was in another city and they conveyed the impression that I wasn't going to have any luck getting that high of a size of rainboot... just depends who you are talking to I guess. Thanks everyone!
