Men's extra wide fit shoes?

10 replies

Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for men's extra wide fit shoes? DH has extremely wide feet, something like a 7 length wise, but needs a wide fit 10 foot the width. He normally just ends up in shoes that don't really fit, but for Christmas has asked for some shoes which actually fit! He's mid 30s, not super concerned about fashion but thus far quite a lot of the shoes he's found that fit him look vaguely medical. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated

Try Fitville. They do extra wide

Smart shoes? My eldest gets his school shoes in Clarks - the styles that come in the wide fittings are disappointingly few, but they do fit (and his little toe doesn't wear through and start pointing out which happened once when I didn't realise his shoes were too narrow!)

For trainers, my youngest swears by New Balance - the only shoes he's ever not complained about having a squished pinky in.

Then, depending on how he feels about flat soles, I have a lovely pair of vivo barefoot Chelsea boots in wide, which at first seemed a bit tight, but with the help of a shoe stretcher (very cheap on amazon, worth it for those of us with duck feet), and time are now so unbelievably comfy on my (croc-shaped) feet that I'm trying to find a place to resole them.

Sketchers to extra wide fit shoes.

Thank you all, will have a look. And neither of us had thought of a shoe stretcher, that sounds like it might be a great idea.

@BarbaraGordon DB shoes

Pavers have extra wide styles that are really wide much wider than a clarks H fitting. Maybe not for Christmas though as they only last 9 months of so before falling apart. But I still buy them for my 12 year old as only about £50

Honestly, I feel his pain—finding extra-wide shoes that don’t scream “orthopedic” is tough! Have you tried New Balance? They do some decent wide-fit options that look more like regular sneakers than hospital slippers. Also, check out brands like Brooks or Skechers; they have some wide-fit ranges that might work. Good luck shoe hunting!

Thank you all - have gone for New Balance, so hopefully they'll be ok.
