Looking for a solid pair of boots

The only problem is I live in Australia and I wear between a size 50 to 51 EU (15 to 16 US).

Most stores here only stock up to a size 49 EU at best but its luck if the draw to find one to try on and I don't really want to go through the hassle of ordering, paying, trying and returning if it doesn't fit. I also have a fairly wide foot which doesnt helo but ive come to terms with the fact that my foot is going to be a little cramped.

Im riding about 60% on road and highway and about 40% off road on an ADV bike so recommendations for both on and off road are very welcomed.

Anyone of similar size tried anything that fit well recently? Any help would be awesome!!!!

Hey guys. I've been looking at getting my motorbike licence at some point but one of the things stopping me is choosing what bike to buy. I've had a look and sat on a couple of bikes but there always seems to be a trade off for some of the things Im wanting.

First off where I live we have to have a LAMS approved bike for the first 2 years which is anything under 660cc and a maximum power to weight of 150kW/tonne.

Im about 120kg and 200cm (or 265lbs and 6ft7 in freedom units) and would never really be riding less than 30-40 mins at a time. I would probably be riding about 50% Freeway/Motorway, 30% on other paved roads and another 20% on dirt roads.

I love the look and comfort of a lot of the touring and Sport Touring options but open to suggestions and don't mind as long as it fits me.

I also don't have an amazing amount to spend, looking at about $15000 AUD (about $7500 USD).

Happy to answer questions and any help would be amazing!!!
