Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I'm marginal on needing wide shoes because of bunions. On the NB, trail, cushioned theme I find NB Fresh Foam More Trail v1 to be really great, roomy all round the toebox, maybe they are slightly long if anything. Some people think of them as a Hoka alternative for cushioning, but I find them better - a bit more spring rather than simple cushioning. I just got through a pair of Challenger 5 ATR. I blew out both sides after 600 miles but would get them again in 2E. They are good for mixed road and easy trail.

On the road side I was hoping the NB 1080 would be similarly good. They are, but I wish I had opted for 2E. I also use Cliftons and have made a note to order 2E next time. The NB Propel road shoe can be had for a good price and has a wide toebox, springy but less stack.

Thanks very much everyone for your suggestions and comments. 😀 there's a few mentioned that I've not tried yet.

I usually do buy a size larger (normally 5, buy 6 for running). Width fits mostly but I'm finding some recently too long. Grrr trip up time!
Didn't realise some brands had different width fittings - will definitely be checking that out 🙂
Thank yoooo !

If you use Fetch's link to sportsshoes.com you can search with the term «wide» or «2E» and find them more easily.

Got something to say?

Hello all :)

I can't seem to get a pair of shoes just now that I'm comfortable with - it's driving me nuts! Any recommendations for road and trail shoes for someone with wide feet that heel strikes and likes a bit of cushioning will be most welcome. Slight overpronation on one foot, other 'normal' - usually need a pair with a bit more support. Been wearing New Balance 860 which are ancient and bursting now, was looking to try a different brand out just for a change ...
