To never be able to find nice, wide fit trainers?!

[BagelandEggs]

Just ordered some trainers recommended on Mumsnet Swears By which arrived this morning - nice style but so narrow - sending them back! Any recommendations please for trainers which fit wider feet with some support and comfort? Seems an impossible task at the moment! Thanks!

My feet are only a 36. 37 in trail runners and I just couldn’t find wide fit innov8s before. Hope I can now!

Hotter do super wide fit - but their sizes are a bit weird/variable , I don't trust them enough to buy on line, but good if you can get to a store.

Agree with previous poster I have Fitflop in a variety of colours ( black for work) the6 are great for my plantar fasciitis as well.

I am an EE fitting and Air Force were way too narrow for me sadly.

I am an EE fitting and wear Altra trainers as they have a much rounder toe box rather than going to a point. They are in no way fashion trainers though I’m afraid, but great for sport and everyday wear.

@BagelandEggs I have EEE fit feet due to lymphedema and wear Adidas Spezials. They're the only trainers I can wear comfortably.

I have some New Balance but you can see they're stretched to farsten them. The Spezials are perfect!

Hoka wide fit are amazing. More sporty than fashiony. At least mine are. They’re very comfortable for my wide feet and think I went up by half to a whole size too.

The problem for those of us with wide feet is that an A or B is often considered standard for women so a wide is often only a B or C and an extra wide will be a C or D which really aren't wide at all.

@BagelandEggs I'm a F width fitting and gave up on trainers as also being a size 3 I'm stuck in kids shoes and trainers and they either dont fit widthwise or their styled for tweens so I feel your pain

Id also recommend trying a half or full size up in trainers.

I have a similar issue OP but im struggling way more with slippers. I also have plantar fasciitis.

I understand the issue, I also have wide feet and sympathise. Some brands are just a complete no. New balance state they have standard (B), wide (D) and extra wide (2E) so think it’s worth a look.

I take a G fitting and have always found Puma trainers to be a good fit. Also M&S wide fitting are good and they do often have nice stylish trainers.

Brookes are apparently the ultimate for wide feet and they’re the only ones I’ll wear now but so expensive and never on sale!

After a similar thread on here I bought new balance 574s. In most shoes I am an extra wide fitting but wasn’t sure what to get. I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis and am awaiting a steroid injection in my foot so a bit awkward.

I ordered 574s in women’s standard, women’s wide and men’s standard. I tried them all on and actually ended up with the women’s standard as the toe box was nice and wide. For the other sizes they were just too wide on the back of my ankle so kept slipping.

it did cost a fair bit to order three pairs directly from new balance but I sent two pairs back and they refunded quickly.

Birkenstock Zermatt in normal width are great for both!

i have same trainer problem. New balance 327 in the size up fit me well. Some on styles are also ok but not the slip on style.

I absolutely love my wide fit converse! They only do them in a few colours but they're so comfy and have lasted ages

Brooks are my usual go to. I have a pair of Ghosts for running and Adrenalines for my everyday trainer. For a fashion statement, sometimes I wear Vans (but my plantar fasciatis pays for it if I wear them too long.)

New balance do different width fittings on many of their trainers. I bought a pair to do Disney and they are light and a great fit!

Are they for running or for fashion?
fellow wide foot here, and I wear Hoka runners, they do wider fit on some of their range, I recently bought the Bondi 8 which are wide.

It depends where you need the width. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heel and find that a lot of styles of Nike and On fit me well. Wide Skechers and hotter just seem to be made for fat feet and don't fit me at all - they just slop about but still squeeze my toes.

As for men's vs women's, I had some Nike dart 10s, about 10 years back, both the same size, one pair from the women's section and one from the men's. They were identical apart from the colour. I haven't bought anything of theirs for a while, but the last time I was in the local store, they had done away with separate men's and women's.

Have you looked at ON trainers? Not cheap but without a doubt the most comfortable trainers I own. I've bought 3 more pairs, can't wear any other trainers now.

New Balance, go into a shop and they’ll scan your feet to find the right style for your feet.

I’d echo recommending Altra. Footshaped toe box so they don’t come to an unnatural point.

I don’t wear anything else now.

Basically, go to a running shop and try loads on. Shoe shops don't really do decent trainers.
