Try buying shoes for a size 12 with a "B" width. Bah! I tried on at least 10 different pairs of shoes tonight and all of them were twice as wide as I needed.

Anyone have this same problem? Long skinny ass feet? What casual brand shoes work for you? I have the best luck with Nike and Asics for running shoes, but casual is a huge problem.

I *finally* found these merrell shoes that fit well and are casual yet nice enough to wear in the office without looking like a total scrub.

Any other brands that you narrow footed freaks like?

Nah, I've got worse. I have flat feet, and have no nerve endings on the top of my foot (Seriously).

Long skinny feet get no sympathy from me. :p

At least they MAKE shoes for you fat footed people. Nobody makes a narrow or "extra" narrow shoe. At least you can find E and EE shoes.

Have a look at European shoe companies; their shoes are typically more narrow to accomodate the European's narrow feet.

I'm 15, normal width...shoes aren't a problem, but I can't ever find a pair of boots that big :thumbsdown:

No, actually it's the EARTH that sucks; your feet stick to the earth, not the other way around. ;)

Good luck, missile foot. Hope you find some shoesies that fit. :)

My feet are fvcked up too. Size 11.5, wide, severe pronator, big lump on the top of my feet (bone) that makes tight shoes incredibly uncomfortable.

Sticking to Merrel, NB, Rockport, Born, & Camper.

Yeah, I wear boots nowadays, which makes it difficult. Ridge Air-Tac Quarterboots are good though, if you're lookin' for a pair.

New Balance Store seems to have tons of widths.

NB cater to a market that demand exact fitting performance footware.

PM me if you want specific recommendations.

I have to look for EEEE, so its always New Balance or bare feet.

Besides, you can just stuff your shoes, much like women stuff bras to make them fit. :D

Same. Shoes are Ok because they have more selection and can break in. Things like skates are hard to find in custom sizes and you can't break skates in to the same comfort of skates.
