Size 16 Walking Boots for Men: Where to Look in the UK

AI-generated illustration made for this guide, not a product from any shop listed.

Quick answer: Walktall was the only shop we found with men’s walking boots in stock in UK 16 on 30 October 2026: the Columbia Bugaboot III, the Jomos Trekking Extra Wide and the Hi-Tec Eurotrek, with very few pairs of each. Meindl lists 16 on its Borneo 2 MFS and Mondello Mid GTX, but its product data showed the Borneo out of stock and the Mondello is offered through stockists. GO Outdoors, Blacks and Millets list the Hi-Tec Eurotrek Lite in 16 but showed it out of stock, and Freeman Hardy & Willis showed it backordered.

  • In stock when we checkedWalktall only (very few pairs)

Sixteen is the edge of the map for walking boots. Several shops list the size, but on the day we checked, only Walktall showed pairs in stock, and only a few. Merrell and Sports Direct stop at 15, Altberg and Scarpa at 14. If you take a 16, it is worth checking the shops below every few weeks, and looking at the low walking shoes in Walktall’s Trainers & Sports category, which also reaches 16.

We checked each shop’s own website on 30 October 2026: walking boot listings, size filters, the shops’ own product data (sizes and stock), size charts, and delivery and returns pages. Walktall’s boots category and product data were read directly. We did not check prices. We did not check Amazon UK’s listings.

Meindl

Meindl lists 16 and 17 on the Borneo 2 MFS, which it offers online, and the Mondello Mid GTX, a Comfort Fit model offered through stockists. Its product data showed the Borneo out of stock from 13 to 17, and the page suggests finding a Meindl retailer if your size is not in stock, so contact a stockist before you count on either. Its chart gives 337.5 mm, EU 52 and US 17. Delivery is £3.95, free over £20; returns must be unworn and boxed, with no window or cost stated.

Freeman Hardy & Willis

Freeman Hardy & Willis, whose site is run by Gardiner Bros & Co (leathers) Ltd, lists the Hi-Tec Eurotrek Lite Waterproof (Extra Sizes) in black, and only size 16 was shown on the page. It was backordered when we checked, so expect a wait. Delivery is £3.99, free over £50; the page did not show its returns terms, so check them before you order.

Listed at 16 but out of stock when we checked

GO Outdoors, Blacks and Millets share one range, and all three list the Hi-Tec Eurotrek Lite in 16. On 30 October all three showed it out of stock in that size, although a search result had earlier shown it in stock at GO Outdoors. Check for it at GO Outdoors, Blacks or Millets. Decathlon’s size 16 walking boot filter showed only safety shoes from a marketplace seller.

Walking shoes in 16

If you can manage without ankle support, Walktall’s low walking shoes, such as the Columbia Crestwood, Woodburn II and Tellurix and the Merrell Moab, sit in its Trainers & Sports category, which also reaches 16. Our size 16 trainers guide covers that category.

How to measure your feet for size 16 walking boots

Meindl has the only full walking boot chart we found that reaches 16, and it gives 337.5 mm for a UK 16, with EU 52 and US 17. Walktall’s conversion table gives EU 51 and US 17, but no foot length.

How to measure your foot length A foot on a sheet of paper with the heel against a wall. A line marks the tip of the longest toe, and the distance from the wall to that line is the foot length in millimetres. Wall Foot length, mm 1 Heel against the wall 2 Mark your longest toe 3 Measure wall to mark, both feet
Measure both feet in the evening, when they are at their largest, and use the longer one.
  1. In your walking socks, stand on paper with your heel against a wall.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe with an upright pen.
  3. Measure both feet in millimetres; the longer one decides.
  4. Send the shop your length and width if you are unsure, since few pairs exist at 16 and a return costs time.

Widths at size 16

Walktall’s size 16 walking boots were F (standard) for the Columbia and Hi-Tec and I/J extra wide for the Jomos Trekking. Meindl’s Mondello Mid GTX is a Comfort Fit model with a wider forefoot.
