My little brother (15) is 6'3"ish and size 17 shoe. Sorel makes big boots.. only up to 17 though.
Here are a couple: http://www.amazon.com/Sorel-Mens-Maverick-Snow-Brown/dp/B001AO34AI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qid=1226726126&sr=1-3

They look like they will work alright for riding. The hard part is trying to find some ski boots for him though.

Boy am I glad I dont have to feed that kid!! But as far as the boots I have only seen up to a size 13 and I think those fit about a size 11/11.5 street shoe so he may need like a size 18 boot??
I feel for the kid. I have had size 15 for a lot of years. Tough to find a pair of sneakers, let alone snowmobile boots! Try anything at Cabellas?
I found a pair of Klim 15's at the Washington Snow Show. There were 16's there also. The place was called Cascade Playtime and they offer free shipping. Their number is 509-649-2444.
I also buy a couple pair when I find em in my size. Try finding a comfortable, steel toe work, in a 15 or larger

Both my sons are in that size range too. My wife buys shoes and boots for them on bigfootwear.com.

I also wear the dreaded size 16.
The Sorel boots tend to be very wide across the sole which doesn't fit the running boards/foot wells very well (picture getting stuck, or rolling off). They are very warm, but short and fluffy at the top which can let snow it. They don't have a lot of support since they are mostly insulation and can't be snugged up very well.
I bought a pair of insulated leather (11" tops &waterproof) boots from Cabela's I only have one season on them and enjoy their fit and support. These are in a size 16 and are not too wide so they fit the boards well and snug up well to provide support and keep snow out of the top. I will probably replace these when the time comes with the same boot as I am not sure of anything better for the money at this time.
I had looked at HMK ( I think) that had a 16 but they were super narrow. This tends to put the foot in a bind or force it into the toe box. Sore toes are no fun.
As for regular shoes, try www.oddball.com . These guys are based in Portland Oregon and have shoes (dress, casual, sport, running, hiking, work, etc.) starting at size 12 and go up to somewhere in the 20's. They also specialize in super extreme widths as well. I'm almost convinced you could get square shoes from these guys. It is handy for me to stop in the store and try on anything from a 15 to a 17 to get an exact fit for my foot depending on shoe make and model. They do a tremendous amount of their business by mail order so you don't have to be local to benefit.
I imagine there are other retailers that can help you, but the Cabela's boots and Oddball shoes work for me.

I have large Rubber Insulated Waterproof Boots to size 21
I am Adrian, and due to the difficulty of finding Large Winter Rubber Insulated Waterproof Boots for my size 16 feet, and all other types of big footwear, I created XLfeet.com.
As a result of a request by the tallest living man to have played in the NBA who stands at 7'7", I was able to get BOGS to make do a special make up to size 21. I still have a number of the boots in sizes 19-21 left, and would love to help.
Most guys with XLfeet have not had the luxury of warm waterproof winter boots since we were about 11 or 12 years old.
I even go up to large size 18 dress shoes.
You are in good hands with me, and can see my story which is much like that of your son.
Call me at XLfeet.com, and I will help anyway I can.
