Anyone else here have wide feet? Need comfortable shoe recs please!

Please help my feet! I have wide feet and as if that isn't bad enough, I also wear womens size 10! Ugh. What shoes can I wear that will be wide enough and still provide comfort for those long hours of standing?

i also have wide large foot and i have been using men's nike for work for the past 2/3 years. they are wider and more studry built than women even of the same brand name...and you really can't tell the differeance because we live in a mono society....if you want to feel more feminine get yourself some fancy shoe laces....i have not tried the brickenstock (sp?) but i think i will invest my life savings on the advice of these threads..stay comfy

I have 10 1/2 wide feet, am 5'8" tall and ample size. I have had plantar fasciitis and it was recommended that I try SAS (San Antonio Shoe Co.) as as they have extra padding for the pounding we give our feet. The ones I wear have # D4603355 / Free Spirit on the tongue and come in 1/2 sizes, mens, and womens, and white, brown, tan, and black. I bought a pair up here in Maine in July and paid $100. Not cheap but what can you do, when they get too worn, they become my home shoes and I get another pair for work. If you get the recept to say "nurses shoes" your tax man will have something to work with also. Good luck.

Thanks for all the suggestions everybody! I plan on going shopping for shoes tomorrow and I'm going to start browsing online today.

I definitely have wider feet than I used to. Used to wear Nike's all the time, but find them too narrow in the toe box now. Like one of the previous posters, I have found Saucony running shoes to be wonderful for me. They have a wider toe box, and great comfort. I do buy the higher priced ones with really good heel and instep support, and I replace them every few months. But they are the only shoe I wear now for work. I go to a specialized running store for mine; they carry higher quality than the local general sporting goods store.

I wear a pair of Reeboks I found in a store for $30. I wear 13 Wide, so I have a REALLY hard time finding shoes that fit.

If you like clogs, Anywears are very comfortable.

I wear a 10 Wide as well.....it's awful trying to find shoes that fit me and are comfortable to boot! Good luck!

I found NurseMates to be very comfortable. I get a 9.5 Wide and they feel great. The store I got them from didnt have my size, but they special order for no extra charge, or look on the internet for them. They are very lightweight, slip resistent and have a variety of styles. Mine were only $45.95.

jetta...not sure if you are male/female...but if you're female I'd try a men's shoe as previous poster mentioned...they are definetly made wider...whatever woman's size you wear try a man's 1 size smaller..works for me with tennis shoes like Nike..NB....good luck with your shopping:)..nothing worse than uncomfortable shoessss!

:chuckle This is a great thread! I went to Lady Foot locker today and got some great comfortable running shoes called "Basics". The saleswoman measured both of my feet and was extremely helpful.
