    I have a wide foot and for the life of me can’t find a new pair of shoes that fit me. It’s not the toe box that doesn’t fit, the middle of the foot is where it never feels right. When I put pressure on my foot the inside and outside of my foot hang over the edge of the sole right at the middle. I’ve not tried Hoka Clifton’s, multiple On Clouds, Brooks etc. I got the Brooks Ghost 15 in wide AND extra wide and the only part they actually made wider was the toe box and maybe the heel. The middle of the shoe is the exact same. The only shoe that’s been trustworthy had been the Nike Free run 2018’s. Ive heard from people that run often that they aren’t very good but I’ve owned like 5 pairs of them just cause it’s all I can find that’s comfortable. Any tips?!

    check out the extra wide nike pegasus, they expand the foam under the foot as well the upper to accommodate a foot with more girth

    I used to have to size up a full size before I found out wide sized shoes were a thing, now I just buy 4E wide shoes and they fit like a glove right out the box

    I have the same problem. The extra wide version of some Nike models helps, but doesn't completely solve it. However, because of the structure of the upper, the Nike Zoom Fly and the Streakfly work for me.

    New Balance is known for multiple widths. Some of their shoes are available in E and EE. C for women.

    You need a straight lasted shoe. Try the Ghost Max and Saucony Echelon. Both are offered in wide and extra wide. The New Balance More might also be an option. Hoka won't work as well because their "bucket seat" platform will be intrusive in the midfoot.

    I have an EE forefoot and a C heel. Only two shoe manufacturers work for me that I have found. ASICS in a Wide and Oboz in a Wide. Would like to find other shoes but that is all so far.

    I have that same problem and it is beyond frustrating. No wide shoes ever actually increase width of midfoot---only volume. So frustrating to constantly be walking on that rubber outsole area. So far for my family, the On Cloudsurfers have worked the best (not perfect--but not as extreme of pain!). The problem with them is that 50% of the time, they develop an annoying squeak. Currently searching online high and low to see if anyone else out there has found a decent shoe. We are less active than we used be because no shoe actually fits our foot. Since posting here, have you found any solutions? Thanks! (and good luck!)
