<p>Brands – Used to love Easy Spirit, but their quality and comfort have gone down dramatically in the past 10 years imho. Cole Haan makes comfortable shoes of great quality – sometimes you can find them in wide sizes at Nordstrom Rack.</p>
<p>Source – Another vote for Zappos. They’re just amazing. Nuff said.</p>
<p>Dansko shoes are very a quality with some contemporary looks.</p>
<p>Another plug for Payless: In addition to being relatively cheap, you can find one nearby nearly anywhere, and you can try on the shoe on the spot and buy it immediately.</p>
<p>Barefoottess.com also carries stylish shoes in large sizes.</p>
<p>Don’t laugh, but my daughter has a long and narrow foot, size 11. We always have had trouble finding fashionable shoes that a teen or young adult would like. Someone suggested to me we hit the downtown area where the drag queens shop. The shoes would not work for my daughter as her foot is so narrow and most of the women’s shoes that men wear are wide, but they did carry 11’s!!</p>
<p>Of course, you make end up only finding really over the top shoes, but it may be worth a look; that is assuming you know where the drag queens and others shop!!</p>
<p>Ditto Nordstrum’s…huge, huge selection. I understand the difficulty of shopping online. Last time I went shoe shopping (for pumps) I literally tried on 30 pairs of shoes at different places in the mall. Nada. Good luck!</p>
<p>I have wide feet, too, and I’m a size 9. In my former life, I performed in operas and musicals. That’s where I discovered the first pair of heels that ever fit me comfortably: character shoes.</p>
<p>You can buy them at dance stores, at Zappos, etc. The good ones have leather soles, so you will need get rubber soles put on them for street wear. </p>
<p>They aren’t fabulously fashionable, but they are a timeless style. They also have the added benefit of making you look great while dancing!</p>

<p>Haha, I’m sorry snowball, but that is kind of funny…</p>
<p>Thankfully, my feet aren’t as wide as they used to be before they stopped growing. I can fit into mostly regular shoes now, but sometimes struggle to find dress shoes that are wide enough. I’ve bought a fair amount of my dress shoes at Payless, but haven’t been able to find any black heels that I like that aren’t like 4" tall…and I kind of need some for job interviews.</p>
<p>Another place that I know has wide shoes is Naturalizer (most of their stuff is probably not what a teen/twentysomething would like to wear but some of it’s not so bad). And the shoes probably won’t fall apart like Payless shoes tend to.</p>
<p>Definitely check out the free-shipping-both-ways online shoe stores, and DSW–although I don’t have wide feet, I do wear a hard-to-find size (a solid size 5, 5.5 really doesn’t work no matter how many times I try) and the first time I walked into DSW it was like heaven.</p>
<p>If you’re in Boston, check out the New Balance Factory Store for the aforementioned shoes and all your other wide-feet needs. My son and I wear the same size shoes and we get the EEEE sizes there, typically for $20-$30/pair (they’re $50 to $80 in the local stores).</p>
<p>My daughter likes the shoes there too.</p>
<p>If you can find a store that carries Beautifeel shoes, try them. They come in wide and extra wide and are very well made.</p>
<p>Wow. So many people with size five. CC always seem to have people just like me.</p>
<p>I also wear a 5 and have widish feet.</p>
<p>I found character shoes (used for tap shoes too) are very comfortable. They come in 2" and 2 1/2" heels and various widths, but just beige and black. The souls are very soft so I have the shoemaker add something to the bottom so they don’t wear completely out.</p>
<p>I started doing this when my D, who used them for dance, outgrew a pair (she wears a 7). They’d hardly gotten any wear, and I tried them and became a convert.</p>
<p>I also have a pair of gorgeous Gucci shoes bought for almost nothing at DSW, but they are a size 4!!!</p>
<p>Is there a Bass shoe outlet near you? They carry a few of their styles in wide widths.</p>
<p>JC Penney also carries some of their shoes in wide widths in their stores.</p>
<p>Also…if you’re willing to spend some $$$…another vote for Nordstrom. Their heritage is shoes, and they have always been known for the wide selection of both styles and sizes in their shoe dept.</p>
