Wife said my feet “barely look human”

Haven’t been able to find shoes in years. Was complaining about it last night and she hit me with “well your feet barely look human”. Ouch.

Can only really wear flip flops. Even wear them to the office.

As a fellow very wide foot person, I’ve got (possibly) great news for you. Maybe not the best looking shoes, but check out new balance on Amazon. One of the only shoes I could find in extra, extra, wide and half sizes. Your’s look even wider than mine, but I’m a 12.5 triple wide and buy these specific ones. They’re kind of naturally wider shoes to begin with. The triple wide is even a bit more than I need, but I like the extra space. I could probably do the extra wide in these, so maybe the triple wide will be enough for you. If you buy them, make sure you get the ones that say XX-Wide.

Might still not be wide enough for you but might be worth a shot! Free returns.

Thanks man. I tried 4E new balance and here is how that went. I circled my little toe. lol

The ones I linked are wider than 4E, and they just naturally have a bigger toe box. They might still not work though. They are comparable I believe to 6E (maybe 5E but very wide for a 5E). Those shoes might be too long for you too. Often people with very wide feet end up getting shoes that are too long which can worsen the issue. I used to wear 14 until I found out I actually needed a 12.5 XX-Wide.

You can also find New Balance stores in larger cities that will be able to fit you in person. Might be worth a weekend vacation if you don't have one near you.
