I would also like to mention that my foot specialist liked Specialized shoes for me because their shoes are designed to support people who pronate. If you don't, then they probably are not the right shoe for you.

(most people tend to pronate, so they made the right gamble by trending that way)

If you were to look at my foot while it was suspended in the air, it doesn't look wide. Until I put weight on it. I have flat feet (low volume) and my toes spread like crazy. Because of that, I need shoes that are wider. I've never discovered a shoe that was too wide...BUT, since my feet are also short (wms 6.5) finding shoes is tough. My theory is that if you are a woman and if you don't know if you have wide feet by the time you are an adult, then you don't. You would know if you spent your life searching for shoes that didn't hurt your feet something awful! (Men may be more clueless since men's shoes trend wider anyway - and pointy toes are not in fashion for them either).
