Shoes for bigfoot 17-Jun-2013 At 11:32:46 AM GWil

I've got a big, wide foot too, and find that most shoes really hurt the sides. I'm loving my 5.10 Stealths, but my first pair were La Sportiva Mythos. I got them because they were the most recommended entry level pair on the market at the time (I still rate them), but found that if I did them up tight, that I'd get the inevitable fatigue on the side-step.

Highly recommend getting unconventional in your lacing patterns (as in, instead of crossing the laces over through eyelets, run a couple parallel, effectively "missing" the sideways pull).

EDIT: It's apparently called Gap lacing, according to a guy who likes his shoelaces a whole lot...

If you're using velcro, you'll need a different approach, but with laced boots, you can skip an eyelet, or at least loosen 1-2 around the wide part. Makes a world of difference, and opens up the market a bit more in terms of what you can wear.
