I have 4-E feet. And I jog on the daily. Trying to find some good (cheap-ish, since I’ve been looking for work forever; I realize that will probably negate the “good”) wide shoes.

For most of my life I used New Balance. They’re really clunky. I did buy some WHITAM’s on Amazon, but (while "naked’ enough) the eyelet broke within the first 2 weeks and they’re starting to fall apart. Not surprised because they were cheap & made in China.

Should I just stick with WHITHAM/New Balance? Any others people would recommend?

    Hi!

    I run using running sandals, is the best option almost all year around. Even when it’s cold you can use socks, but when it’s warm is nice to feel your feet free :)

    xero shoes could be a starting point to learn about this topic

    I’ve shared your question here !barefoot@kbin.social

    Altra has some wider shoes with soft and flexible upper zone. Sorry I can tell you models.

      Dude, thank you! Never heard of running sandals. I realize running sandals are designed for running but all I’m imagining is me running down the street in flip-flops with barely-above-freezing rain pelting my skin! 😆
