I think so. FWIW the F1 Races were too narrow for me even with cooking so my feet might be wider than yours. Keep in mind the Dynafit liners can handle a very aggressive cook so if they’re tight in the store maybe try them with your own liners

Like you I have wide Asian feet and my F1 Races have been killing me in the midfoot section. Even though the last is reportedly 102mm the taper leading back to the cuff is too aggressive for my wide midfoot. Do you think the Vulcans are the lightest boots available right now that a wide midfooter can handle? Or is there something lighter for us wide-footers? It seems when a manufacturer decides to make a boot superlight weight, they tend to go super narrow. My main concern is weight – downhill performance is a low priority.

PS Thanks for your great review!

As for the metal rivet, sometimes it does protrude a bit on the inside. I the old days we’d just put a mandral on the inside and beat the outside of the rivet with a hammer, but do that with the Vulcan as the rivet may have a bushing and other parts inside there that could be ruined. Instead, you indeed have to depend on the liner and/or shell to provide room for your ankle.

If you’re feeling the rivet through the liner, you probably need a slight punch of the shell. BUT, sometimes how your ankle is pronated can cause the ankle bone to protrude. You might make sure your foot is correctly supported on professionally made footbeds before you make shell mods. More, sometimes you can just raise your foot up inside the boot 1/8 inch or so, thus relocating your ankle bone so it finds a better spot to enjoy.

This is all stuff a good boot fitter can do in their sleep.
