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

    I’ve been wearing 990s in a 14 or 15 6E for a while (12 years or so) for work and exercise, but the newer 990v6 just doesn’t hold up or fit quite the same. I’m still wearing a (tightly laced) 15 in them, but I’ve had trouble finding alternatives, and I definitely feel like I need more of a 14/14.5 with more width (which doesn’t exist).

    Given how expensive NB has gotten, I’m eyeing whatever other options turn up and wondering if I’ll have to go custom. I’ll give xelero a look over, though, thank you for sharing this. :)

    For boots I just wear thick socks in my red wings, but that’s not too often.

      I felt the same on the 990v6, they just didnt fit right and i returned them immediately because of it. Not much better than NB in price but well, thats 6E tax lol.

      Xelero ive got the X-GPS in 11 wide (its absolutely wide enough, trust me)

      I almost exclusively wear the Dunham boots, they’ve lasted about 2.5 years now i think? Still going strong. I’ve replaced the laces once.
