Wide fitting trainers for 11-year-old

Please, please, please give me your suggestions for where I can get wide fitting trainers for DS. He is a Clarks 5 F - G fit and up until now we have got by with Clarks. But we are feel very limited only using them 🙏

Sports direct or JDs. My 10 year old has wide feet and I find Nike trainers fit his feet. Plus sports direct are relatively cheap.

That’s great, thank you 😊

Another vote for Nike. Find somewhere to try them on as each style is slightly different.

My DC all have previously had great experiences with Sketchers, but I think they've become more of a middle aged brand.

Avoid Adidas they seem to be particularly narrow

Skechers are definitely a middle aged brand. 😂

Adidas are narrow I agree. Although their actual trainers, which look like Nike are wider.

Another for Nike. DS was measured G-H when little in Clark’s and I thought we would struggle elsewhere but been okay with Nike.

Try Merrell. One of my DC needs wider fit shoes their to a previously broken pinky toe. You should be able to get some trainers as well as outdoor hiking trainers. He finds some Adidas are fine too but need to try them on (last few pairs were from Sports Direct).

Adidas kids come up really big.
