Outdoor Shops - USA

[Nevin]

Does anyone know of any outdoor shops in the States that would sell rigid/alpine/mountaineering boots?

Alternatively does anyone of any brands that make this sort of boot in a larger size. I'm trying to source some in sizes above a 14 and not having much luck.

Not sure if they carry what you are looking for but give Big Bass Pro a look

REI.COM Bloody massive chain that sells everything climbing/mountaineering related. Euro stuff is (was) more expensive than here though.

ETA What do you mean by rigid? B1 or B2? HA or Alpine. Be specific man!

Oh and by the way try Lowa - couldn't remember their name. They do bigger sized boots.

Cheers, will have a look at those.

Have looked at Lowa before and the only one they do up to a 15 appears to be the Civetta which is a bit too much. Looking for something more like the Cevedale, but with a reasonably stiff sole which will take a crampon. Maybe a B2 boot. Also, what Lowa sells in the UK, Italy and US differs in both style, range and sizes.
