I know what companies have them, but i want to know what places resell them.....Buying shoes over the internet seems to be pain since a 10.5 could be an 11 on another shoe.....

My (large) teenage son wears size 13DDD, extra extra wide. Surprisingly, I've found comfy shoes for him at WalMart.

Also JC Penney. Good luck.

I have wide feet and Adidas shoes tend to feel good (metrum models, etc)
Nike's like to inflict pain on my feet though.

Try buying a size 12 with a "B" width. That sucks even worse.

Usually higher scale shoe companies carry wide widths or any variety of sizes you could think of. Try Zappos.com as someone else suggested.

Probably not the best choice, but I just buy the shoes in a size bigger than I wear and they are comfortable enough.

But yeah, the thing I hate most is rollerblades/ice skates. Scrunching the arch of my foot to make them fit makes my ankles and shins hurt and I can't skate for long. Sucks, because I like doing it.

I got a really wide foot and i'm screwed, forced to wear newbalance for most of my life. New balance doesn't make any cool looking comfortable shoes...well, i do like my 901s pretty well. Though the 991s are really uncomfortable, especially when running, i have them both in 4E, not wide enough. They do make some brands in 6E but they look so lame. Most new balance shoes still look like old man jogging shoes. Guess i'll just keep wearing 901s the rest of my life :p
