Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

In the market for a new set of boots.
Have had to ditch my old 32 Lashed becasue they were giving me really bad foot cramps. Think I need something a bit wider - any suggestions for a decent pair of wide(er) boots, within 150 budget?

maybe it's not because of the width but because of the shape of your foot?
go see a fitter.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you can get hold of the
Snow & Rock
catalogue either in old fashioned paper format or online, they give indications of whether boots are suitable for narrow or wide feet, so this could be a useful starting point, but I would definitely get them fitted properly, both
S&R
and
Ellis Brigham
offer this service.
My husband hs hobbit feet, and got custom made footbeds in his boots, which helped enormously, as the fitter demonstrated how your feet can spread when you put any weight on them - wide feet and badly fitting boots just leads to cramping and pinching, not worth spending the money if you don't get them fitted properly.
You might get boots for £150, but don't be surprised if you pay a bit more.

based on the fact that the old boots are a thirtytwo i am guessing that it is a snowboard boot you are after??? salomon do or certainly did a wide version of a couple of their boots, and there are plenty others out there
have you considered a footbed in the current boot, this will reduce the foot spread and probably the cramps as well
