Does anyone have really wide feet?

And wears white trainers? I’m talking feet like a hobbit. A HOBBIT. I would dearly love to wear a simple pair of white canvas style shoes/plimsolls but have yet to find something that fits my wide, shire horse feet. I’ve tried Simply Be’s wide fit canvas shoes but they still rubbed like anything.

Please offer me hope, if there’s any fellow hobbits out there.

Yes. ASOS have a wide and x wide filter option.
I've got a smashing pair of adidas stan smiths in white, in wide fit. ASOS do their own brand white plimsols in wide fit, super cheap. Superga come up wide too.

Clarks also have an XX wide range.

Sometimes the width is exacerbated by the arch being very low, if you see a podiatrist and need an arch support it makes the foot narrower while your wearing the insoles.

My feet are practically square they are so wide. I find Skechers trainers and pumps very comfortable and FitFlops. I used to wear Uggs a lot but they aren’t very supportive. And clearly not suitable for the current weather in Southern England.

I have really wide feet and I live in mens sized Vans. They're perfect.

Mine are like hooves. I wear Superstars. Anything else ends up looking like a clown shoe as I keep having to try on bigger and bigger sizes to get the width. I occasionally torture myself with Converse and have bloody stumps for feet after a couple of hours. Kurt Geiger did Converse style trainers which came up much wider for a while, as did Ash (but can only afford the sale). I also have quite a few pairs from New Look and Primark, bit hit and miss but sometimes find some really wide fitting ones in there. My middle aged fat feet look much younger than those of my slim footed friends however. Has to be an upside.

I have super wide feet square feet, high arches, cankles and massive calves. I wear Adidas campus trainers, sometimes Skechers, formal shoes from Evans and occasionally boots too if they will zip up over my fat ankles and high instep. I buy my wellies from Jileon.

I was going to mention Rocket Dog but someone got there before me. I love the prints so much that I wear them anyway, but they are noticeably very wide on me and my feet are only average, not unusually narrow.
