Closeouts These beautiful Alico Tahoe hiking boots are true classics. These boots are made of top quality, full-grain leather and are crafted by a small factory of artisans located in the Italian Dolomites.

Overall these are very good boots that work well for me. One time they had an early sole detachment but STP allowed a full return. Other pairs I've ordered have not had this problem.

I believe this boot will last a light-weight hiker like me for many years. That said, I believe it will also take the entire Summer to break them in, as stiff as they are. They appear to be built in a very solid manner with quality products (with the exception of the removable foot pad, which is as cheap as I've ever seen). Add a replacement pad to the total price of the boots and they're still a very fine deal.
The fit for me was perfect. I wear a 12 D-E, depending on the shoe, and the 12 D in these feels excellent.
With the quality, comes some extra weight in these boots. I don't see it as anything but a way to get a little more exercise, but some experienced hikers may find them cumbersome over the course of a day. I am guessing each boot outweighs my previous Asian made, glued together boots by a half pound apiece. Wade through a stream and you can probably double that!
The bottom line for me is that I'm not as willing as I once was to purchase throw away items. I'm finding it cost prohibitive to purchase a quality product and have it reconditioned when it's time. I wish I had learned that earlier in life.
Having only worn them once, that's all I know.
Answer
I would say that's a question for a good cobbler...not STP. Good luck!

The d width is the same and a medium width. Which I am assuming you are describing as normal width.

Question
“I am looking at either the Tahoe or the Summit boots by Alico. Specs say the Tahoe boots weigh 2 lb 14 oz a pair, and Summit boots weigh 4 lb 6 oz a pair. Are these weights correct? I am doubtful that Tahoes weigh under 3 lb and 1 1/2 lb less than the Tahoe. Thanks.”

Question
“How do the men's Tahoe boot differ in fit from the ladie's version. The womans US 9.5 is slightly small on me and there are no US 10 boots in stock. I am trying to figure out if it is worth ordering a men's boot and what size.”
