If you find a decent deal on some Irish Setter Vapertrek I'd buy them. Wear like tennis shoes and i'm on my 3rd year with the same pair. I wear them all Turkey season and most of deer season and they are still in great shape and waterproof.

a buddy of mine got a pair at Academy - he said they wore good ... may not last as long as the other brand names, but they were very affordable ... my last lace-up pair was Chippewa's & they lasted a very long time; not the most comfortable nor lightweight, but they were battle axes

Another vote for the Irish setter. Mine are just as comfortable as tennis shoes and have held up great. They are a little pricey, but they are worth the money.

Irish setter. Wore mine all day today. They are what I wear the majority of hunting season. Hard to wear anything else cause they are so dang comfortable.

I have trouble finding sneakers in 12.5, let alone in 4E! I'm sure somebody does, but will possibly be a custom build company so $$$. possibly a Thorougood, Russel, ect that make a wide size selection of outdoor work boots.

Brown Truck just brought a pair of Danner Pronghorns. A Little stiff in the ankle, but plenty
big/wide @ 14EE. We'll see.
These are both zip and lace up.
I don't see a 300$ boot here, glad I caught them on sale for 173$. Still too much IMO.

why Lace up?? I have the zipper pair from Academy. Don’t actually even use the zipper. Just slip em on. They are surprisingly very comfy. Bought them before last summer and I beat the stew out of them. They are my work boots for the farm and camp. I have walked several miles at a time in these. They are about toasted now but for $89 I got a lot out of them and now know that I like knee high snake boots. I’ll spring for a nice long lasting pair next. I won’t get lace up though. Too much work.
