Enduro or Trials/Motocross Boots Wanted

I am in need of a Pair of Enduro or Trials Boots.... or Motocross boots.

I have 2 main problems, well 3

I have BIG feet, size 12 UK, 13 USA or 47 europe and quite wide too.
here in Spain I just CANNOT find boots to fit.or shoes or trainers.....

secondly as mentioned I live in Spain so postage is a Killer, most ebayer's in the UK don't want to know!

Thirdly, I have very little Money...... ( I know, its a common ailment! )

So, I find myself asking my fellow Traveller's, if any of you have a pair of size 12 Boots suitable..... and they are cheap, and you are willing to post them to Spain...... and you have a PAY-PAL account.....
please contact me by PM for an email address and we can enter into negotiations.

Thanks

Martyn

Hi Martynbiker.
What about euro-size 46?
Aerostich Combat Touring Boots :: Combat Touring Boots :: Footwear :: Off And Riding :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear
I used them 5 month in 2007, but want size 44 - same kind of boots.
My bike and boots are now resting in LA, but my son over there can do the shipment.
100$ + the cost of shipment.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
