Every time I post a video about a boot, someone will reliably make the comment, "If only they came in wide widths." It's true that for many companies, they just can't afford to develop new, wide lasts because the demand is too low. But there are plenty that focus on including our sasquatch brethren in their customer base, and I've found ten that should give you a perfect jumping off point.

I hope you didn't pay full price for any of those pairs.

Thanks for the video! just ordered a pair of thursdays and they fit exceptionally well for my 13.5 (US) size and triple E wide feet. I live in the UK so I had to pay extra. Sucks that not many companies have wide fitting shoes that genuinely look good, always an up hill battle.

I just picked up a pair of gently used Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill boots on Ebay in EEE width. I have super wide duck feet and the EEE width in these boots is really wide. Shockingly wide!

[@quickfoxxes]

Nick, thanks for this focus. It is an abominable process to find proper and comfortable fitting boots (and shoes) for wide feet. I contacted the Bureau of Standards and Measurements in the DC suburbs, and find out that shoe sizes are not under their regulation. I have no idea of why not, since this oversight has caused hordes of us to purchase and return millions of pairs of footwear. When international footwear enters the market, this only causes further confusion with the various sizes up or down. Thanks for what you do. Best regards. DJ in Knoxville TN

[@snusmumriken232]

Agreed. I spent many years of my life thinking that boots are just painful out of necessity. Not true. I’ve just never owned a pair of wide boots.

[@JeffRage]

Thanks for the video! I have small feet with a wide forefoot, so it's really hard to find things that fit. I often get shoes that are a bigger size, to try to get more width. I have Thursday Presidents in a 6W and Adelante Havanas in 5 5E. I have no ideal as to the quality of Adelante, but they do offer widths from narrow out to 5E. I think I'm going to try Grant Stone Diesels in 6 EEE next.

Anyone else look for wide because they need a wider toe box due to forefoot issues or injuries? I’m referring to conditions like Hallux Rigidus or big toe joint arthritis, or metatarsal and sesamoid pain. People with these issues tend to need a wider toe box so the toes can spread out. Squishing of toes in standard narrow shoes makes everything worse and increases pain. Also inserts like J pads or Dancer pads are sometimes used to offweight the big toe joint, so extra room in the toe box is needed to fit the padding under the foot. Alternatively, custom orthotics are used and also need extra width. Usually a shorter heel (minimal drop between the heel and the forefoot) helps to take pressure off the forefoot. Wonder if any of these boots would fit the bill.

[@likearc]

Will u ever review the Goodyear welted blundstones?

[@Beariam24]

Hi Nick. Are there any wide toe box work boots that are still narrow around the back of the foot. I just can’t find any at all that are safety rated for trades.

[@gabebullo685]

Nice list But.. none of these are available in wide and in my size. Im 4eeee and size 12.5 or 13. All these boots are too narrow and or not available. I wish you would do this again with wider boots that are actually available. Thanks

[@Stridewise]

Thanks! Everyone says it's too small on me haha I never got the fit quite right for it sadly

[@aalassadi3844]

RM Williams are made on narrow lasts. Even when width is added they are still narrow and they don't fit well if you have spread toes. They are sleek and elegant if you have narrow instep. I prefer Grant Stone and Indy boots

[@MrKinghuman]

Hey Nick, quick question, im a conductor for the long island rail road and I'm currently using wolverine 1000 mile and iron ranger in my rotation, but I'm trying to get a pair of indys, do they size like those two companies or is it more of a traditional sizing. I wear 10.5 in IR and 1000s, but 11.5 in everything else. I'm in them 14 hours plus a day and standing in them in 8 to 10 hours a day and I need boots that feel great for a long period of time, I have a wider foot and the IRs and 1000s although now broken in, my foot kind of covers the whole sole and it starts to hurt at the end of the day. Sorry for the Long post question. Thanks in advance

Did I miss something? I didn't notice you mention Thorogood boots. They're some of the most comfortable, real work boots around, and they're available in wide sizes.

[@Microwave414]

Got the 1957 flyway and yeah I was shocked at how comfortable these boots are, leather is rather stiff though at first but it's probably not mentioned because it's only one selection of wide and not the crazy amounts of wide you need when your half man and half elephant. Also they are work boots and not exactly lifestyle boots even though I'd argue the fullgrain leather with the briar pitstop finish is too pretty in natural light to actually be used for work, I'd hate to ruin that kind of root beer coloring on them which the pictures on their website does zero justice of showing.

It's kind of dumb that Thursday only makes their Captain boots in a wide size. At least give us the President in wide as well. I have two pairs of wide Thursdays, which are great, but having a plain toe option would be nice.

[@martintanz9098]

Hello? What about Allen Edmonds? Every boot they make in every width from A to EEE width. Also, I just bought a pair of Helms, and let me tell you. Their EE width feels like an AE E width. Not bad, and in time, and maybe stretching the shoe a bit it will eventually break in. I appreciate that Helm is making an effort to win over those with wide feet. They came close, but still not wide enough. That said, Helm is not nearly as good a fit as my AE Normandy, Higgins Mill, or basically any AE Chukka, all of which fit me close to perfectly right out of the box.

We continue to make shoes that are not natural to our foot shape. This is the cause of so many issues. There are a lot of brands now making foot shaped shoes....but alas.....they are not sold in stores anywhere that I can find. Can only find them online and they are typically geared towards "barefoot" shoes. Can we find a happy medium? Just simply changing the chape from the tapered toe (nobody's foot is shaped this way in nature) to a natural shape would be a game changer...but as you pointed out...this would mean companies would have to change their lasts and this would be an initial expense if people are not demanding it yet. But many people just don't know. We have had this shoe shape for so long. I heard it was originally introduced for snobby reasons. Something about a nose up at the working class. Well, now we have a population of people with foot issues...thanks a lot snobbies. You screwed up your descendants.
