what are the widest possible boots available in black? I currently have "original swat" for my police academy and these things are so closed in they're giving me blisters.

These are pretty wide but probably not what you are looking for, though they do come in black.

Re: widest possible boots (at the toe area)
I wear 11 6E. I also have the Original SWAT boot. After a long day, I could use more toe room. As far as tactical style, I'm going to try Converse and Lowa. I have a army store here which carries a great selection in boot brands. Wolverine Durashocks in wide are okay. I had to go to Russel Moccasin shoe company and have them custom fit a pair. They cost about $300 but are the only boots I have ever loved. New Balance 6E are a great fit but just come in athletic style. Also check out Hitchcock Wide shoes.com

I wear the Orginal swats and after a little time when they "broke in" and got the crease where my toes meet my foot they seemed to be wide enough but then again i dont have very wide feet. Might check out the Oakley boots

Victor, do you find them "roomy" in the EEE? I have a pair of "EW" or 'extra-wide' Durashocks and they are still a bit too narrow for me. I have serious arthritis in my feet, and shoe/boot width is a matter of basically being able to walk or not for me!!

Check Danner and Redwing. Both pricey and both worth it.

In particular I would look at the Danner Telson. I have pretty wide feet (2e or 4e depending on the brand) and they give me plenty of room.
