Mens Wide Shoes

I'm constantly hearing from people who have difficulty finding shoes that fit. It's a real problem for people with small, large or narrow feet, but there seems to be an especially large group of people who need wider shoes than what is standard issue.

Fortunately, the web has made the task of finding wide shoes much less daunting. Here are several online shoe stores that offer men's shoes in wide and extra wide widths.

Zappos

For EE and 3E widths, you'd be hard-pressed to beat the selection at Zappos. They do, in fact carry widths up to a 9E. But as expected, for every "E" you add in width, the selection gets more narrow. Dress, casual and athletic styles are all available from some of the top names in footwear. Buy Direct

Hitchcock Shoes

Available via a mail-order catalog, or their online store, Hitchcock has their own who brand of dress, casual and athletic shoes, and offers sizes 5 through 15, and widths up to 6E. There's actually a very good selection here, and some very nice-looking styles. Manufacturer's Site

I really love the way this site is set up. It's easy to navigate to the exact style you're looking for, and you can see available widths and sizes without having to click through to the item. Lots of great brands, very good prices, and a very good selection here. Vendor's Site
