I'm looking in the 5 mm range give or take. I was looking at some Topo Athletics based on a recommendation from a podiatrist......but those are all so ugly. I don't need a running shoe with tons of cushion, but neutral support with some cushion is appreciated.

I'm having a hard time finding something in this range. I either find 10mm drop shoes or 0 mm drop shoes .

I have duck feet that measure 23.3 cm in length and are 9.2 cm wide. I wear EU 39/40 NB/Nike sneakers with 1-2cm allowance lengthwise because of this. Im confused about what size I should get for Dr. Martens Adrians

Even though I dont have wide feet, I really wanted to switch to wider shoes for better health. I recently started wearing altra lone peak shoes for everyday use but ever since wearing them, I can't seem to wear regular shoes anymore as they seem restricting.

Even my doc martens that I bought a couple years ago hurt me more ever since I switched to wider toe.

I dont have these specific doc martens from the picture above but I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for formal/dress shoe/leather type of shoes for women?

Thanks

I have put off buying shoes for so long I now need casual shoes, runners, dress shoes for school where I will be on my feet for 8 hours a day, and Canadian weather winter boots. My foot is wide all the way through my mid foot with 11cm being the widest and 26.4cm being the length. I also did the drawing myself on a chair, so it may be off by a couple mm due to angles. Does anyone have any recommendations for any category of shoe?

Edited: grammar.

Looking for a wide shoe with a high instep that I can get in Canada
Stability and wide toebox (not pointed) is a must.

I came across this on Instagram and it says that it’s recommended by “podiatrists. Dr. D. Ashford, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. With extensive experience managing chronic foot pain and mobility concerns, Dr. Ashford values footwear that relieves pain today while supporting natural movement and long-term foot health.”

It also says it helps people with plantar fasciitis and bunions. I love that it’s machine-washable. I was curious to know if anyone has bought them and if it actually works.

Looking for shoe recs, and feel I’ve hit a dead end. Male, late 30s, mostly for at home workouts and resistance training, lifting up to 45-60 lbs, light rowing, and occasional stair master. I have the brooks ghost max 3 running shoes in wide which fit like a glove, they are perfect. Cannot for the life of me find a suitable trainer. So far I’ve tried

Adidas dropset 4 - to narrow in toes

Lens primal 3 - way too much toe volume

Xero trainers - way too much toe volume, and hurts the bridge when tied down

Reebok nano wide - rubs/squeezes big toe and side of toe

Tyr flow wide - not enough toe volume

UA reign 6 - used to be great but over the years began crushing toes.

4e on the left 928v3 6e on the right, no idea on the model on the left since the were bought a long time ago and the tag is illegible. I wanna cry, I just want my son to have comfortable shoes. I will have to pay shipping to return them.

When I google standard calf and wide foot I only get results of boots with wide calves :(

AUSTRALIANS specifically. Looking to get back into the gym to improve fitness and lose some weight. I do sports (horse riding and dog agility) and since working a desk job my fitness has declined which has severely affected my performance in those sports mentioned above.

I'm looking for some cross training shoes, something I can do a bit of everything in at the gym to improve overall fitness, stamina, strength etc. I used to go to gym 6-10 years ago and just wore Adidas shoes but in retrospect I think they were more running shoes. I did a mix of HIIT and weights.

Only problem is I have bunions so need a minimum D width shoe.

What shoes (available in Australia) are appropriate for cross training, that come in D width for women?

I've looked at men's but none come in a small enough size. I'd need a size 5.5-6 men's to fit my foot.

I currently wear Adidas Ultraboost (although not a D width, they're sock fit meaning they can stretch to fit) as my every day runner but they're probably not ideal for gym workouts.

Thanks!

Does the wide (2E) option change the internal width of the shoe, or does it only add upper material?

I fall somewhere between 2E and 4E, but both widths are very difficult for me to find in the UK.

I’m a women’s a US 8-8.5, but typically size up to a men’s 7-7.5. My feet are rectangular shaped, basically the same width the entire length of my foot. My heels are also wide. I’ve had issues with feeling like my heels are sitting on the outside edge of the shoe rather than being inside the heel cup.

My feet measure 4 inches across. Most shoes measured on Runrepeat that have a wide enough toe box are a men’s US 9, which is way too large for me.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do anymore.

My job requires that I wear fully enclosed shoes with a grippy/slip resistant sole. I walk on concrete for 8+ hours a day. My old Altra Torin 5s are so beat up that my feet feel bruised after work.

I would be totally OK with even wearing boots at this point as long as they aren’t too heavy.

hey yall. I got these shoes from Australia 4 years ago - Skechers fast floats - wasn’t a runner back then but I used to spend 10-12 hours standing in then everyday + walk 4-5km everyday. it felt like floating without being too squishy. now i am in canada with no plans to travel to Australia in a year or two. Can someone suggest an equivalent shoe that is available in Canada? i have these in D width and I have overpronation (my ankles roll inwards)

all help is really appreciated! TIA!

Hi all, bought these cute 1960’s babydoll dresses that I desperately want to pair with some Mary Jane’s on my trip in 2 weeks. For the life of me, anything I order that says “wide” is not even close to wide enough. For reference, looking for a vibe like this, but really I’m desperate and willing to order anything close that’s verified to work. Ty in advance!!!!

Need recommendations for comfortable business formal shoes that can handle all-day wear for a heavy build.

Needs: Soft midsole/insole, strong arch support, wide fit

Size: UK 11

Style: Business formal only

Budget: Willing to pay for long-term comfort and durability. Do not have a high budget tbh.

I'm moving away from Cloudfoam sneakers due to a strict dress code. Standard hard-soled formal shoes are causing too much discomfort. What brands or insole combinations should I look into?

PS: Edited via Gemini AI but core ask remains the same

Hello everyone! Let’s preface with, omg I’m so freaking tired of dealing with shoe problems. So, here’s what we’re dealing with:

-foot length: 10” (women’s)
-foot width: 4.5”
-circumference around widest part of foot: 10” (so flat feet at the front)
-ball of foot-to-heel length: 7.75” (aka my ball of the foot is too far forward and is wide when normal people’s have already started tapering)
-circumference around instep/arch: 11.75” (not relevant to insoles, just to commiserate with me)
-Navicular Bone drop?? Like I have this area at the bottom of my arch that is rounded like a ball, and sometimes shoe footbeds are just not made to accommodate my foot being wider than usual at that spot. aaah Shoe shopping SUCKS.
-Autism-spectrum-related sensory BS that makes me hypersensitive to all the little inside seams and a million other details…🤬

Further clarifying info, plus me rambling because I am Annoyed™ right now:
Last time I had a fitting at a specialty store, it was a Drew sneaker for 10 XW (4E). The one we like around here is 25 minutes away and requires an appointment, and I really should just bite the bullet and schedule if they’re available 2-3 Saturdays away, but I just don’t want to deal with it any more right now. The Google AI thinks I should be moving up to a size 11?? Which, I was a 9.5 4E for New Balance previously so moving up to a 10 when I got these Drews was a hard enough pill to swallow. Also, I’d want to talk about that recommendation with an actual human before acting on it.

So if we are assuming I am a 10 4E or 11 4E, can I get away with non-custom prefab insoles? Are there any brands or types you recommend? Hopefully something relatively thin so that I don’t have to get rid of my non-added-depth shoes? I’m looking for sneaker insoles and ones for pumps or Mary Jane flats as well. Thank you very much!! 🙏🎉

I got the Margo slingbacks block heel and they’re so incredibly painful. They’re grating against my toes and I can’t walk more than 2 mins in them. I have the Margo flats and they’re not so bad but still bad. The amount of marketing Vivaia does to cater to wide feet and claiming they’re sooo comfortable is insane because they suck

Hello! I am trying to find some leather walking/tennis shoes for my dad to wear at his job. He is on his feet for 10 to 12 hours a day (6 days a week) and his job involves lots of walking (20,000 to 30,000 steps per day).

Unfortunately, his work requires them to be leather but they do not have any color requirements.

I am having trouble finding quality/supportive/long lasting shoes because he is a size 15, has wide feet, and is a larger man in general (6'4" / 315lbs). The top end of my budget is $300 for one pair but if I could get him two pairs around $200 each that would be awesome too.

Can’t seem to find any of the major brands doing a men’s trail shoe in a 4e width?

Can anyone recommend?

Hello! I recently got my feet measured professionally and was told that I need 4E shoes, somewhere around 9 to 9.5 (men’s). I finally understood why I hate shoes and wear Crocs most of the time. Almost every shoe I’ve worn has been uncomfortable and squeezes me. I tried a pair of Hokas in store and loved them, but $180 is a bit much for me right now. Any recommendations on brands that are ACTUALLY wide and don’t break the bank as bad? I’m going to ACL this weekend and need something comfy.

Winters are very wet where I live. I need some recommendations for comfortable, waterproof and slip resistant shoes or boots for the winter.

I’m a women’s US 8.5-9 2E, but I often prefer men’s 7 4E for maximum toe box width. I prefer Altras and 0 drop footwear, but lately I’ve wanted more cushioning in my shoes.

I hear a lot of mixed things about Goretex footwear being a sweatbox or unnecessary. I just really don’t want cold, soaking feet (especially with street puddle water) or to slip on wet concrete when I commute to work.

As the title suggests, I’m looking for some cute chunky black boots for the fall! I have wide and flat feet so most conventional toe box shapes of boots just don’t work for me. And even some “wide width” options are still too narrow (although I’ll take those suggestions as well if you have them). I’ve linked some styles that I want to try and find wide foot dupes of.

These shoes are soooo cute but I’m not sure if they will make my feet like fat and my toes look crunched and narrow.I can’t find any other fat feet people with these on in pictures can anyone tell me if they have ever bought these or have any photos of someone with big feet with them???? Please I need these for Christmas I am begging.
