Those of us with wider than normal feet know how hard it can be to find a shoe that fits good. Most shoes will pinch the forfoot and strain the middle area.
Most shoes from the 60s, 70s, and from the early 80s seem to have been quite narrow. Look at the Asics shoes that Rodgers trained in. My foot couldn't fit in those things.
We bought one size up. My foot is an 8 wide so I went to a size 8.5 and later a 9.
MILITARY BEWTS.
I ran in NB320's EE from 1977 to 1981 and then the NB620's EE and NB990's EE until the mid 1980's ... after that Asics RX and Brooks Chariot Wide until 1990.
