Wide sneakers?
Hey - anyone else here have wide/flat feet? I need some sneaker recs. Most Vans and AF1's fit me great but like J1's, Blazers, Sambas etc. are way too narrow. If it's popular it probably doesn't fit me basically
Preferably wanna stay around the average Vans/Converse/Reebok price range but I'd be willing to stretch it a little, up to like $120ish
My sneaker rotation is mostly SK8-Hi's so I wanna diversify

chucks and some vans come in wide sizes, but you have to order directly from the site. my brannock is 9E, and the wide chucks fit perfect (went 8.5 wide). With New Balance I found the regular MiUSA stuff fits in regular widths (I use 990v5, v6, 996 and 998 in size 9), but they also come in EE and EEEE widths although they will be a bit pricier.
Yeah new balance is def the place to look in terms of wider stuff.
Have you tried sizing up for Jordans? I have wide feet but an 11 in vans authentic and J1s fit me well. I’m a 10E in wide chucks and 11 in D width chucks
Good to know, the only new balances I've ever had were 574's and they were a lil narrow but I'll check out those others
there is also a whole subreddit dedicated to this if you werent already aware of that
I would but I got goofy ass size 13 clompers which is already the biggest size they normally sell
Fwiw the new 4s shape is pretty forgiving. I’m a 10.5 in the new 4s and an 11 in the new 1s
Ooh I didn't even think about 4's, good point
574s did not work for me either, a bit narrow in the tow box and low at the instep, although it was the regular width, never tried the wide versions
My feet are pretty wide and I found Stans fit just fine, half a size up
