If the shoe fits

[Threeoffthetee]

Just a slightly odd one here. I have size 7 feet (too much information) but find that in order to get shoes that are comfortable I need to buy size 8 to get the width right but then they are awkward and too long.

The only brand that seems to work for me are HiTec - just to clarify that I have no interest other than finding shoes that fit.

Anyone else have this problem? Got any suggestions?

Why don't you buy a size 7 footjoy but get the wide fitting ones. I think they even to extra wide too.

Do fJ not do different widths ?


Edit .. or what richy said

Adidas do wide fit in a lot of their shoes aswell. But the tend to come up small so may need a 7.5.

 

[GreiginFife]

Yep, quite a few manufacturers will do different width, just have a look over t'interweb and you shall find something.
Try being a size 9 when there is a deal to be had... most common men's shoe size apparently...

Seriously, Hope you find a good pair though.

HiTec traditionally were almost a Wide fitting as 'standard'. Adidas certainly used to be narrow as 'standard'. Footjoy, Ecco and Nike seem to be pretty standard for me, though I seem to be able to use anything from 8.5 to 9.5!

I have a mate normally 7.5 who can wear 9s in some brands!

I always get the adidas wide fit

I am size 7 and had problems with my Ecco shoes having to but larger for width. I now wear Callaway C Tech Saddle, they are a wider fit so 7 is ok and they have great cushoning.

I'm a 7 too mate, and have wide feet, wear Nike,very comfy, have zoom elite ii and some lunar control, jade air tw before, all very good imo.

I have wide feet and the Adidas 360 4.0's in wide fit a treat.

Try having slabs of meat like mine. Wide fitting but I have a narrow heel!

I guess all those nights out in drag high heels and all have taken they're toll!

 

[Captainron]

Have you tried some of the Ecco range? They are pretty damn comfy and have widths to suit

 

[HotDogAssassin]

I have the opposite problem, long (size 11) narrow fitting. Plus I'm flat footed!

FJ would naturally be my brand of choice and they do a wide and an extra wide. Nike seem to be coming out with some good stuff too. I've always found adidas come up small even in a standard fit.

 

[Lump]

I'm a 9 in every shoe I try. But I bought some FJ's online and as soon as I saw them I knew they where far too big. Hoping dropping a size will make the difference. Not holding out much hope though. They where massive next to my size 9 adipures.

Thanks for all the advice - most helpful. Although I have an image of a poor golfer struggling round 18 in Salamon Downhillers and plastic boots.
