Answer 1

New balance. They make there mens shoes a little wide for comfort when running. If you need more padding on your feet get Dr.Scholls.

Answer 2

As you can tell, you are getting a wide range of answers and none of them the same. The best thing you can do for yourself is go to a specialty running store and have them measure your feet, check your gait and so forth. Bring an old pair of running shoes (if you have them) so they can check the treads on the bottom. It helps to see how you are landing on your feet and if you need any corrections. If you don't feel that the staff is very informed or helpful, go somewhere else. I went for a long time trying to find shoes on my own ( I went through many pairs) and didn't find what worked for me until I finally went and got properly fitted. If you have high arches you are probably a Supinator....which means you probably need a neutral shoe. Preferably a Neutral + shoe which is made for heavier runners, or runners that get in a lot of miles. As far as the brand goes, in my opinion, no brand is better than another. Everyone has different needs and preferences. It's just a matter of trying them on and finding what works.

Answer 7

Not sure Exactly

But I was told that New balance are the best

Answer 8

New Balance makes great shoes for both high and low arches.  Their wide sizes are only wide for the ball of the foot -- the heel of the foot is a normal size.  If your arches are really high you might consider getting a custom orthotic.

Unfortunately I don't know what width you are based on the measurement you provided because you didn't say if you are a man or a woman.

ive seen alot of new balance shoes for people with wide feet

Answer 13

I to have a wide foot, dont worry about 2E and whatever, just rock up at a sport/running store and try on some shoes. Brooks and Mizuno make a wide foot running shoe and they also have a great range of running shoes.

Answer 14

first dont use nike shox.. thats asking for shin splints... and most nike cross running shoes are wider. thats what i use i have wide feet.. or switching between pairs can also help. when you get brand new shoes it will take a while to "break them in" but after that they should be really good.. but asics... addias.. i would go for nike
