I'd like to pick up a new pair of motorcycle boots, modern looking ones, but they need to come in a wide size. Anyone have any recommendations?
I have very wide feet (11.5EE) and am not aware of any sport boots marked as wide. I was advised by STG when they were sponsoring our race team that TCX/Oxtar and some Alpinestar boots tend to run wider than most. I personally were a TCK street /sport boot that fits well.
STG (and several other online retailers) have an online chat feature where you can get more info. They also have phone lines at most of them if you prefer to talk to a human.

Any SIDI boots.....
Always take one size bigger.
Daytona's come in wide sizes, but they are a more spendy option. Some Sidi boots come in a mega (wide) size, but the current offerings are very limited.
Revzilla carry's the Daytona brand, but they are currently running low on inventory and options: http://www.revzilla.com/daytona-boots (http://www.revzilla.com/daytona-boots)
If $450 is out of the question, Motorcyclegear.com has several TCX (formerly known as Oxtar) models on sale now: http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/boots/all_types/tcx/ (http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/boots/all_types/tcx/)
These look to be a GREAT deal on sale. May need to call and check on width size availability.

I have the Fly Racing Milepost boots. I have wide foot size 13. I think I purchased a size 14 and they fit excellent.

Wirehairs,
I buy all my boots from Brian at Atomic Moto. He is an amazing resource. Give him a call, he'll have an answer and several options for you.
I have EE feet also and the Forma boots (off-road and on-road) work fantastic, are reasonably priced, super comfortable and after two years and a lot of abuse still perform as new.

I have a pair of these, http://www.revzilla.com/product/alpinestars-s-mx-5-boot (http://www.revzilla.com/product/alpinestars-s-mx-5-boot) and they're great. Very comfortable from the git go.
Talk to the folks at Revzilla, I'm sure they can assist with a good boot for you.

I have exactly the same pair. They do fit well.

So are you saying these boots just have a wide fit, as a opposed to be offered in wide sizes?

Update: I ended up buying the Fly Racing Milepost boots as someone recommended here. I found a deal on Ebay for a new pair, and can indeed report that they will fit a wider foot. I might of been better off getting a size larger; hard to be sure. But I think after wearing them a bit, they will be very nice. I got the ones that are perforated to handle the warm summers we have here in MN.
Oh, and I'm very impressed by the amount and quality of the reflective material on these boots.
