Ask Valet.Far & Wide

  • I can never find nice sneakers that come in wide sizes. Are there any brands (not New Balance) that make shoes similar to Converse or Nike that come wide?

  • This is when the ease (and infinite size) of the internet comes in handy. Sites like Zappos or Shoes.com have more options and sizes than any brick and mortar shop would ever be able to provide. We've assembled just a few picks from the wide range of, well, wide options. From an iconic canvas Sperry (perfect for kicking around on the weekend) to Saucony's more gym or court appropriate trainer, they also come with such Web 2.0 features as comments on how they fit, how well they fared in the real world and if you can get them cheaper someplace else

 

FYI

2/10": The average difference between standard width and wide.
(Note: that's two-tenths of an inch)

More on Shoes

I've been wearing Wallabees, but the sole gets worn. Does Clarks have a sole replacement program?

My feet always get incredibly hot come summer. Can you recommend shoes for work?

Are tasseled loafers too old for say, a 29-year-old guy who actually likes wearing suits in the spring?

I want to get a pair of wing tips I can wear often, but I can't seem to find any decent pair for less than $300.
