I need a wider pair of shoes to wear 5 toe socks to avoid toe rubbing which resulted in painful skin abrasion between the toes of my right foot. And I'm glad I found xx-wide (5E) shoes here. The sole of the shoe is made of rubber, it is soft, light and comfortable. After so many years of hitting countless golf balls and walking the courses almost daily in shoes that were too tight and too tight, they have taken their toll on my feet, exp. right leg. It's time to put my feet up for some healing and relaxation.
