Ultra-wide Protective Footwear

Okaaaay - possibly not quite the style you were looking for, but
ebay.com (the US site) has a few hits for very wide boots - though
mostly cowboy boots(!):

Remember add +1 to your UK shoe size to get the equivalent US size
(widths are the same I believe).
You might email 1 or 2 of the suppliers to see if they do safety shoes/
boots - I'd be surprised if there isn't a supplier somewhere in the
"the big country".
Another option might be military boots suppliers (e.g
http://www.silvermans.co.uk/
in London).
Unfortunately, the steel protected ones there are only EE. I did do
quite a search of US suppliers - and, though i didn't find suitable, I
felt sure that they would be available somewhere. But by the time I take
into account the difficulty/expense of returns, I decided to avoid. I
really need either a shop to visit or an easy return policy.
On the miltary front, I think I might have been one of those rejected
with the opposite of flat feet!
Thanks.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
