Winter boot recommendations for wide (4E) feet

I'm one of the unlucky few to have really wide feet compared to the average consumer. I typcially find myself needing a size 12/13 width 4E for shoes and boots. Does anyone else have experience with trying to find boots that fit such a wide foot? Most manufacturers, if they even offer a wide option, are only offering you a 2E which is still on the narrow side for me.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'll be needing a new pair of winter boots this year.

I run Muck Boots with a rubber lower and neoprene upper that comes up almost to my knee, but I canb roll down if they get too hot. Warm, good traction, and not too $$$$. I wouldn't hike in them, but for shoveling/walking the dog/slopping around they are perfect. I have a fairly wide foot and they are roomy.

not a big gear guy, but the New Balance store in Brighton now carries a wide foot hiking boot.

I'm also a 12-4E and wore their old hiking boot ("Raniers"?) for several years before wearing it out. It was probably the most comfortable shoes/boots I owned.

The last few years I haven't seen any boots in the factory shop but of course 3 months after I buy a different brand, they show up again!
