Why don't work boots have half sizes?

Probably because of the costs in making the protective toe caps and lasts (and if you think half sizes are hard try finding wide fit - 2E to 4E). So double sock. At the end of the day it is a limited market. Same goes for the "keks"
I don't often see shoes and hiking boots in half sizes, so why expect it in work boots?
Likewise, that is usual for none work trousers and jeans. It is usual to buy them a little long, then have them adjusted.
I hate to break it to you but you can get safety boots in half sizes. And different trouser legs.

Brands please? The trousers I buy seem to come in 3 leg lengths per waist size only and similarly the boots I have only come in full size increments (just looked)
Just Google your size work-boots i.e. 'Work boot 8.5 UK'. There’s loads. Plenty on Amazon.

I wear wide fit boots. There aren't plenty on Amazon.
Right, I’ve sorted you on half sizes, now you want wide fit? Any more requirements - colour, textile, price etc? Plenty on Screwfix or wideshoes. Google is your friend.

Oh, now, what about colour.....
I gave up on SFX (and for that matter DW and Stanley) for boots a few years ago precisely because they didn't do a wide fit boot. Maybe when my current Cofra boots wear out in a few months I should look again

I can't think of any other reason and this is logical

I've never struggled to find half sizes with regular brands like Clarks, Nike, Adidas, Timberland and Ecco etc

I could only see a few safety boots from Screwfix in half sizes

I reckon it would be difficult to find half sizes in well known main brands though such as "Scruffs", Cat, Doc MartinsRight, I’ve sorted you on half sizes, now you want wide fit? Any more requirements - colour, textile, price etc? Plenty on Screwfix or wideshoes. Google is your friend.

How do you find Cofra as a brand?
I don't like any of the offerings at the coffee shops, but I will drink it at a pinch - I much prefer my own coffee at home.
