Birkenstock
4.8
(12)
"Birkenstock lace ups are shockingly comfy and durable"
"I wear Birkenstocks most of the time."
"I’ve been wearing my Birkenstock clogs with basically everything for my entire pregnancy. I think they look cute with dresses too!"
"My feet appreciate Birkenstock"
"Fourth Birkenstocks! I couldn’t do without them around the house."
"Birkenstocks. I live in them or running shoes with custom orthotics."
"Third Birkenstocks. I have summer ones and winter ones"
"On my third year with them and they are still supportive and fit well."
"Second Birkenstock"
"Birkenstock. I recommend felt kyoto for comfort and adjustable fit"

New Balance
4.3
(10)
"New balance sc elite v4 is by far the greatest run walk jogger on the planet for my feet and stability while being a super shoe."
"I really enjoy all my New Balance."
"If price isn’t an issue I’d say get the 1080."
"New Balance is good for wide feet."
"NB 993"
"I bought NB 877 a while back and they have a wider mid-foot than others. They’ve got good cushioning, a wide toe box, and room for high arches/high volume feet."
"I’d give the 880 by new balance a try, go all the way up to 4E. I have a wide toe box but my feet going from my arches to the balls of my feet are the widest part."
"You could also try the Arishi, mesh upper and runs a bit long, but super comfortable since it also has fresh foam x midsole."
"New balance shoes I tried before that were wide had a weird backing to it, but I will try it!"
"I’d give the 880 by new balance a try, go all the way up to 4E."

Brooks
4.6
(7)
"Brooks Ghost are my salvation for messed up feet."
"I just upgraded to the brooks glycerin gts 22. Not as springy as the 21s but the guide rails and stability are amazing for pronation."
"Great supportive and cushionned shoes: Brooks Adrenaline"
"Brooks Beast GTS for men goes to 4E width. Truly extra-wide widths and plenty of support for flat feet."
"I got no blisters in Brooks Adrenaline 19 and 23 GTS, Glycerin 20 GT"
"Sounds like you bought the right pair w BAs. Possibly the Ghost line as well."
"I've ran in Brooks Ravenna, Hoka Clifton 9"
#4
Oofos
4.8
(6)
"I rock my oofos all the time around my house!"
"I love my Oofos flip flops. I think they played a big role in making my plantar fasciitis go away."
"These goofy things are a godsend. Get a slightly smaller size- the material gets softer with use and spreads out a bit."
"Oofos. They’re excellent"
"Oofos 100%"
"Ookos is a legitimately good flat. The adidas and Nike flats/ sandals are good too."
#5
Asics
4.5
(6)
"My feet have always loved Asics, now I just get them in wide."
"I love ASICS because of their wider toe boxes and you can still get a well fitting heel."
"Great supportive and cushionned shoes: Asics Gel-Kayano"
"Try wide trail running shoe. I like asics but there are many brands."
"Go to asics and have them measure you on their machine"
"I liked the older Asics kayanos(the ones with the plastic plate in midsole) for pronation, might be a bit stiff and heavy but doesn't give me pain in longer sessions"
#6
Crocs
4.5
(6)
"Crocs are this way for me. I started wearing them all the time except at work (desk job) over a decade ago, and within months my joint pain was alleviated."
"Honestly cheap crocs have been a god send, either with warm socks or buy the fluffy variety."
"I got crocs recovery clogs because some reviews said they were even softer than oofos and they are! I have almost no foot pain now that I wear these at home."
"Crocs instep and width is fantastic and it’s one of the only brands I’ve found that doesn’t get disproportionately narrower and flatter as they size decreases."
"Crocs"
"Crocs. The slides are nice."
#7
Altra
5.0
(5)
"I've been hiking in Altra Lone Peaks every weekend."
"Altras have a wide toe box and have really helped my balance."
"I have 3 pairs of Altra Lone Peaks and love them."
"I loooooooooove my altras."
"You can always try out trail running shoes for hiking! Look at Altras or Topos! Both brands have a wide toe box."
#8
Hoka
4.8
(4)
"And I second Hokas. Never had a more comfy pair of trail shoes."

#10
Saucony
4.0
(4)
"My feet like Saucony shoes, so I looked into their lineup and got the Guide 18. Had two runs in them now, one really easy and one with some effort built into it, I am really happy them."
"You can also try Saucony Tempus. They are lighter and have a more flexible."
"They are completely straight on the bottom and massive cushion. The insole was a little softer than I like so I switched them with a New balance insole and so much better."
"I ended up trying saucony ride 18 size 7 men's regular. Apparently, I just don't like having the shoe material wrap my foot."
#11
Adidas
4.7
(3)
"I only wear adidas comfort slides, couldn't find anything better"
"Adidas comfort slides have been lifesavers for me. Oofos are worth checking out, too."
"Any adidas shoe really."
#12
Softstar
3.5
(4)
"I got a pair of Softstar Primal. They have much better big toe room. I would recommend trying Softstar Primal too."
"I would also suggest the SoftStar Primal line if you are okay with the seemingly ridiculous shape they are, or going custom."
"I would recommend possibly Softstar or custom unfortunately."
"I haven’t had any and they’re super expensive but Softstar’s look like they might work."
#13

3.7
(3)
"I’ve been interested in Lems for a while, specifically for a hiking boot. I’ll look at their wide styles and give them a try."
