Looking for a pair of shoes that can accommodate my wide, flat feet for long shifts. Any recommendations?

I also have "wide flat feet." Lol. I like KEENs, Birkenstocks(I believe both make a white, leather "professional" shoe), Asics athletic shoes ( certain styles). I also want to try Ryka athletic shoes as they make a "wide" version of most of their shoes. Good luck.

" Wide-flat" shoes of course! New Balance always seems to excel in this arena...

Not sure if they are specifically intended for wide feet, but Timberland Renova slip ons have a wide shape and are very comfy and roomy. I have 2 long concrete floor halls I cover all nite and am always running - they were extremely comfortable right out of the box.

I have very wide, flat feet (I'm Native American) and in 7 years of nursing I LOVE LOVE LOVE Alegria shoes!!!!! They are super mega comfortable, TONS of cute styles and they are wide enough to accommodate my big old duck feet!!!!! Expensive but so worth it. Check them out!!

I was also going to suggest Alegria. I really like them, and they have a wide toe box.

I like Keens Newport H2, but they aren't appropriate for work, and I haven't found a closed style that comes in Wide for women. Are you finding wide Keens in men's styles?
