I'm a guy and I normally wear size 39.5 to 40 men size. I can't get these in anything < size 42 for the men's version of these boots. I have short and wide feet too. Can you advise on what size is the equivalent to Eu 40 for the ladies version. Are these slippery on wet/ice/snow — 1 Answer

Hello! Thank you for your inquiry.

Unfortunately EU sizes very from brand to brand, so for now I'm assuming that you would wear a men's 7-7.5 US in a wide width. The Women's 996 Vioz GT Boot is built on a women's specific last making it more narrow than the men's version so even after converting the size I don't think this boot would be the best for you. Unfortunately Zamberlan does not make a men's shoe below a 41, but I did put together a list of other boots that come in wide and the length you need. We would need to special order in the boot for you in most cases, so if you like any of the following suggestions please call our customer service at 1-877-883-6276 to set up an order.
