A "wide" fit seems to be all the rage these days (thanks to a Sketchers ad campaign 10 years ago), but most of these shoes aren't very wide. For people with a normal foot width, this has certainly become a more comfortable shoe. But for those of us with really wide feet, this only led to further disappointment, frustration and subsequent comeback. Most of the tested sizing manufacturers were sold (e.g. Crocs and Vasque). I can only assume that among them, New Balance has been one of the best so far. XW/4E? - not nearly.
