Wide fitting shoe

[GLC1968]

I don't think there's any way the all-velcro Spec shoes would fit me.

That is weird, because both pairs of mine are all velcro and my heels don't pull out at all.

Maybe my heels aren't as narrow as yours? Do you also have flat feet? I do, so maybe my lack of arch gives me enough 'thickness' in the middle of my foot to immobilize it?

I definitely have the heel slip issue in regular shoes if I buy mens (or, in my case, usually boys since my feet are small), but after 40+ years, I've kind of gotten used to it.

My feet are just weird.

I have a pretty low instep, which contributes to heel slip problems. My arches are actually on the high side, but I overpronate so much (working on it!) that they kind of vanish if I'm not paying attention.
