Wide Feet

[Gordon Hudson]

Does anyone know how wide the different manufacturers shoes go to ?

I have extremely wide feet (H+) and they are also 9 and a half which is not
a common size.
Its an extreme width problem, not just slightly wide feet.

Sometimes I find off the shelf ones that fit.
I have worn out my last pair and have not come across anything recently that
is wide enough.

I do have Nike extra wide fitting shoes I bought in the US but they are
trainers and not proper running shoes.
Also not really suitable for running in on the road as the support is all
wrong but they are the only training shoe I have ever felt really
comfortable in.
The front half is almost circular.
I have never seen that fitting for sale here.
In fact when i got them they were selling them all off at knock down prices
as it was not a popular size.
I can use them on the treadmill in the gym but they are too wide to go
through the stirrups
on the bike!

Obviously I will be going to a specialist running shop but when I phoned
them they said F was about the biggest they came in.

Its not just a running shoe problem.
Clarks have stopped width fittings on a lot of their range so I now scavenge
for normal shoes where and whenever I can find them.
I have two sons with equally wide feet as well....

Anyone with wide feet found an off the shelf solution?

Maybe I should just get my little toe removed up to the ankle.

I have severely collapsed arches, and so my feet push out a long way at the
edges. I will be interested to see if you get any help, but would like to
post an additional thread, asking a similar question, but with my specific
details. Interested to see there's another flipper struggling to find
runners.

Have you tried New Balance? They do several width fittings, not sure how
far they go though.
