Rami -

The flip answer would be that you should have thought of this while you were 
in Georgia where they actually have outfitters (sorry, couldn't resist). <VBG>


I also have strange feet, as do most folks in one or more regards.  My second 
toes are longer than the others so I need to worry about them rubbing against 
the toe of the boot and I wear a size 11 narrow boot.  I was lucky enough 
three years ago to find a pair of Vasque boots (style unknown and no longer 
made as far as I can find) that are mostly suede, part mesh, insulated and 
which, after about 600 miles wear and with superfeet inserts, feel like I'm 
wearing fuzzy bunny slippers walking down the trail (comfort is a very, very 
nice thing).  When they fail I suspect I'm doomed to settle for something 
significantly less.
