    I have wide feet too (and they're only a size 3 so very difficult to get shoes to fit). The best trainers I've ever had were two pairs of Saucony, fitted at a local running shop. They even did some that have a narrower heel with broad fitting across the foot and those were perfect for me. Not all Saucony shoes are the same style and fit which is why I found it best to go to the running shop for advice. They checked my gait and spent at least 30 minutes finding the best fit for me.
    ETA - Brooks too have some good styles for wider feet but I found they were to narrow around the heel, even though my heels are narrow (compared to my feet!).

    Is that a make or style please and did you buy them in a running shop?

    They are Nike - and that's the description from the box.

    I didn't buy them at a running shop - i bought them at my local discount outlet at the NIKE store.

    thank you again Daska - I thought I had the worst feet in the world - mine are prob a ee or eee, I used to wear Hotter, but no good now except they have brought out a EE now so may try in a ordinary lace up
    I cannot wear a fashion shoes it is like my feet are made of stones underneath and so spread, and a bunion but have a lovely narrow heel and small ankles not that they do me any good as I hide under very long trousers I buy them so they just touch the floor, am expert at this! Is your problem swelling as there is a limit to how wide feet can get structurally - I am going to see a specialist in LOndon soon as hope surgery may help, I pronate so badly and bunion on left foot now a big problem too. Just shows its not all wrong shoes that give you buniions as havent had a fashion shoe since about 20 years old - thats 45 years ago!!

    Yes, swelling rather than structural! Technically I am apparently only a 6.5 in length but I looked like I'd had a couple of elephant legs transplanted LOL. I hope the surgery is appropriate and successful.
