Wide Feet (5E) shoe shopping
 

Any advice? I know of one place local to me that carries a few different shoes (where I've shopped successfully for the shoes I have), and I can find scattered pairs here and there online.

I have tennis shoes and I have a pair of black dress shoes and a pair of boat shoes and a pair of "everyday brown" shoes, but what I'm really looking for now is a pair of boots. Not winter boots, and not work boots, but like "dress boots" if you will.

Only I can't find really any that come in anything over 4E. I've found one pair on Amazon that are listed as "farm boots" but that look passable maybe.

And there's a company (Hitchcock) that has a catalog and a website and has some VERY nice ones ($300). I guess I'm just hoping there's something in the middle so that I don't have to pay $300 for a damn pair of shoes.

5E?

My buddy owns The Shoe Shack - Boots, Shoes, Western Shoes and Work Shoes check his stuff out.

Yep. 5E. Most of your traditional "extra wide" or "wide" places only go out to 3E, or occasionally 4E, because that's what the commonly-used commercial molds do.

Will check out this Shoe Shack.

i have wide feet. i generally have to buy the "wide" shoes that are 1+ size to big to fit my feet comfortably. non wide shoes kill my feet. even then all my shoes end up busting at the sides

I used to be the same way. Finally I went to a store that knew how to help me and I gotta tell you - from someone who used to be where you are...it's a world of difference having a shoe that's actually made to be wide enough. Can't recommend it enough.

I regularly buy mine at Hitchcock, and have yet to be disappointed on quality. They do circulate coupon codes online every so often to get 10-20% off their catalog prices, you can check the usual haunts like fatwallet. I tend to wait on something until a good discount comes along.

I have yet to find anyone else who really caters to the wide shoe customer anywhere near as well.

Yeah - I have my eyes on these Quik - Street And Dress - Best - Best Boots - Hitchcock Wide Shoes for Men

but $300 is steep and I'd kinda rather not pay that much, ya know? Will look for coupon codes.
