Check out meindl Dovre MFS wide at Alpinestart in Vancouver.
check with them before heading there as stock is low.
They are a meindl dealer
Don't know who carries them on the lower mainland. Good boots are very subjective. Everyone's feet are different. Try a few different makes on and try to get somebody that knows about fitting them. Be sure to ask about return policy. Generally if you take them home and only wear them indoors if they start to not feel right you can return them but clarify that first. I've only ever tried Kennetreks and Meindls and while the Kennetreks were good and lasted as long as my Meindls they were about a 95% as far as fit goes(for MY feet) compared to the Meindls. I can't say I regretted buying them but wasn't upset when I retired them.

Have you tried taking the boots you have to a shoe repair outfit and having the bunion area stretched out? Or even purchasing a stretching unit yourself...I have had luck doing this with shoes and boots.
I use Scarpa, which won’t help you because they are narrow, but don’t buy gore-tex if you can find high quality leather boots that fit. As long as you look after them, they will be as waterproof as gore-tex and last longer. I’ve been told that Italian boots are typically narrow, so maybe give meindl a try.
MEC has a great return policy. Or used to at least. No questions asked.
I have wide feet so Rocky Boots online filled the bill with camo hunting nonslip EE boots and EE knee high waterproof Snakeboots. Great fit with room for heavy socks too! Comfy & dry. Much cheaper than Cabela’s or Red Wing.
