I have weird flipper feet, so I find myself limited to brands that offer 4E width (typically 10.5 @ EEEE ) does anyone have any recommendations? Any style goes as long as they offer closed toes

    Are you looking for a specific type of shoes, or companies in general?

    Thursday Boot Company has wide options for a lot of its inventory (only up to EEE though from what I can see); many of their products are resoleable, but Everyday Gear did a 3-year test on the non-resolable low-top sneakers and had good things to say. And YMMV, but my Jim Green Razorback boots are extremely wide despite not being labeled as such. Solovair’s Last 5400 boots are said to be wider, but there aren’t any specific size conventions lifted. And you can customize pretty much everything with Nick’s boots, but get ready to spend $800.

    Hope others can provide better suggestions. I struggle with this myself in the women’s section now that I’m no longer shopping fast fashion. Red Wing has D sizing (which is the women’s wide and men’s average E width) that stops one size below mine, and that’s just one example, so I’m stuck with W width for most shoes and brands. So I just live with the pain until they’ve been broken in 🙃

      Mainly companies, I can pick through their selection at my leisure

      I tried breaking in a pair of Vessis and my toes were tingling for a week 😬
