Just like the title reads, which one is wider. Anyone have actual dimensions of the foot bed size. I am sick of having screwed up feet. Someone needs to start making custom boots.

Not sure what your issue is, but for me I’m cursed w bunions. I wear SG-12’s, which are pretty roomy, but still squeeze my bunions. My fix- I put each boot separately in a large vice w a 3x1 piece of wood over the top of toe area, and squeeze to desired shape. Then gently heat w a small propane torch, squeeze another half turn, let it cool down in vice for 10 minutes. May sound stupid but works perfect for me!

Thats not a bad idea but to do with a shoe stretcher then apply hear and let cool. Might try it never thought of that. I have broke my right foot like five times. The real fix is surgery but..... its about 3/8" wider than the other side and hurts like a bitch to be squeezed into a boot that is too narrow. I rode with the new Leatt boots for awhile and they are good but i am riding in a size to big to get more width and once they break in they get sloppy. So i am getting a new pair right now like every ten rides and selling the used ones. The whole ordeal is getting old. What i would like to know, if the sg12 is handmade why dont they offer a custom made program? All the hockey skate companies offer it and really that is not much different an industry than the mx boot industry.

I went to a boot stretcher and they said too bulky for them to widen. I’ve tried numerous boots. SG10 was the roomiest but I also had a bad ankle break 30 yrs ago and lots of arthritis so I wanted the extra support of the SG-12. W the vice work my boots are now perfect. On my 4th pair using this method.

SG12 hands down. I have wide feet and their toe box was more than enough. Tech 10’s are a little snug on me but I still prefer them.

What others have said. The SG-12 is wider than the Tech-10, but the SG-10 is even wider/roomier in the toe box than the SG-12. I have both in the same size and wear them back to back. The SG-10 is definitely roomier.

I haven't run the SG's but the latest tech 10's are plenty wide for me. I wouldn't say I have a caveman wide foot but its enough I buy wide widths in shoes most of the times..

I have both pair. I enjoy the roomy feel of the SG-12 but the tech 10 feel more locked in. I guess because of the booty. Which is also why I hate them lol. Hands down longevity goes to the SG-12. Bulletproof. Next new pair will be SG-12. I can definitely see why someone would choose one over the other.

I must be a part of a small minority of people that actually went up a size in SG10 boots vs shoes. My big toe just didn’t fit right in a 13, went up to a 14 and it’s dreamy

Misery loves company😂... I have been putting off bunion surgery for 10 years, even the Surgeon said to put if off as long as possible...it’s even more enjoyable when my Gout flares up in my same foot👌
