My wife has short wide feet and finding shoes to fit her is a real challenge.

I have normal feet size 10.5 regular width.

11.5 wide

Bummer is that only my fore-foot is actually wide, then I have a high narrow in-step and heel.

12EEEE. They give me a good under standing.

Yes, properly fitting shoes can be tough to find.

My feet have spread out these last few years. I wear a 10.5 wide now, and I hate it. There are so few choices when you wear wide.


For sneakers I've had the best luck with ASICS and New Balance for wide sizes that are actually in stock. (ASICS come with the added advantage of being nearly indestructible too!)

I wear both brands, and don't really care for either. I was a Nike fan, but they rarely have wide sizes.

I OCCASIONALLY have seen wide Nike's but they're rare. (and the couple pairs I've tried on were not really wide)

Really New Balance is the only major company that has multiple wide options commonly available in my area ... the other guys will only have one width 90% of the time.

Size 10 and I'm 5'10", which is the average height for men and my feet are average sized for my stature.

The only thing annoying about that is it's a size that tends to sell out faster, since it's so common.

Yes, they're too big, but they've gotten smaller. Dunno if they're done shrinking yet.

Size 9 here so I don't have any issues finding shoes thankfully. Though I find I usually need 9 wide, which sometimes they don't have but I can get away without it depending on the shoe.

I was going to say, what is with all the wide size shoe wearers here? I have a hard time finding wide size.

I wear my shoes out fast because my feet are not straight (parallel to each other) Almost at a 90 degree angle to each other so I wear the heels out fast. Then I have flat feet too.

Surprised by all the small footers in here. I wear a 12.5 in most everything. Ultra long first and second toe set the mood. Normal width thankfully so it's not too hard to find shoes, only challenge is in boots where they often don't have half sizes.
