Help me find shoes or trainers for a night out that have a wide toe box, black possibly red.

I can’t find anything. I wear trainers all the time, even for work. I’m looking for a dressy black trainer, but I’d also consider a shoe or boot, must have a wide toe box. Must also have laces or an adjustable strap. Thanks.

Have you looked at BarefootBrit’s blog?

I have a pair of Koels and a pair of Groundies that I wear as smart trainers. My pairs aren’t the colours you need but there were a lot of different colourways.

Zzfaber also have some black/subtle leopard print ones I saw yesterday too but they may be too casual:

But I really don’t like black trainers as a rule so my radar on these might be way off!

I find Next great for this kind of thing. You can filter by wide or extra wide fit and any other features you want such as laces/colour and it will filter 1000s of shoes from 100s of brands.

Altras have a super wide toe box. Def worth checking out, comfiest running shoes I ever bought but not sure about how available they are in the UK as I bought them in the US.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve had a look, but haven’t found the right thing yet.

Sorry, but I find dressy trainer to be an oxymoron! What sort of event is it? Are you open to a suitable shoe? What is the rest of your outfit, or is the request a general request.
