Default Uniform Shoes in Sasquatch Size

I've searched the usual online stores I buy shoes at, and the usual Ecco, Doc Marten and other brand shoes I've seen reccomended are not available in my size in styles that appear to conform with the uniform section of our FOM (Delta)

I put this in the main section because I see every major wearing more or less the same style shoes.

I wear shoes in the 16-4E to 17D range depending on brand.

The official "description"

Smooth Black leather, Plain toe, cap toe or split toe style, lace or slip on.
No contrasting color soles, laces, stitching, etc

Boots must be plain black, plain toe with no buckles and can't disrupt pants.

Right now I have a pair of Rockports that meet the looks description, but based on how they are getting torn up just by the simulator, I don't think they will last long on the line.

So, fellow Sasquatch, Yeti and Bigfoots (Bigfeets?), what do you wear and where do you get them?

Try Nordstrom. They are known for fitting some of the less common sizes.

I've been quite happy in Ariat 'Roper' boots, comfortable and long lasting. Also keeps the anti-ice off your socks. Mine are not Sasquatch size. Go for the composite sole, just in case KCM is down.

Alberta Boot Co. may be able to make a pair for you. I had them make my ropers (size 11E not clown sized) with rubber soles and composite shank and no stitching on toe

Paul Bond in Arizona will make a custom boot. Very comfy, if you like ropers.

16 EEEE? You could probably out-swim Michael Phelps without even using your arms.
