Can anyone recommend any wide fitting boots for Astro and 3G use?

The current crop all seem to be extremely tight fitting, narrow and many are 1 piece with a neoprene style 1/2 sock that I can't even get into.

To make it even tougher, I can't stand the pinks, yellows, or plastic styles!

I had the same issue, 'wide' foot, take a size 10 but cant wear the trendy pointy shoes, size 11 trainers but football be it grass/blades/astro im a size 12.

I believe, and probably wrong, but a narrower fitting boot is meant to help you with speed.

My blades and Astro boots are both Puma EvoPowers

I wear Puma Kings and Adidas World Cups on grass, but nearly all the astros as those pointy things, speed...no boot will help improve my speed.

Went to Sports Direct earlier and managed to find a reasonable pair of Nike Tempo X only 1/2 size bigger, that were comfy enough, my old ones are ruined, so while not my 1st choice, they will do, and, they are black.
