    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought that it sounds like a country song.

    Being a wide-footed woman myself, I do appreciate the information.

    I have a wide toe box- the Northwave road shoes work for me. They stretch to perfection after a few rides.

    LOL.

    I HATE.. DESPISE.. DEPLORE clothing and shoe shopping for this exact reason. Most shirts with a ladies cut won't fit due to wide shoulders. I normally have to go up a size (or two) just to feel like I'm not gonna pop out of it like the Incredible Hulk.

    When I go shopping I normally fall in love with a blouse, jacket, or pair of pants only to try it on and feel like I'm on a game show where I've picked the wrong door and I get the nag or billy goat as my prize.

    I don't have wide feet but I, like you, Roadtrip, have wide shoulders, so I feel your pain! Clothes shopping is awful

    Eternally grateful I'm a woman with wide feet. Two words: Men's shoes (when that works). My brothers don't have that option...

    I recently bought a pair of amazingly high heels simply because in all my 50 years of life I had NEVER NOT ONCE stuck my feet into a pair of "regular" (almost reasonably priced) heely shoes and had them get to the toes without Width Issues.

    ... of course... I don't know how to walk in them, which was even more amusing for the siblings to see, since I got 'em visiting over T'giving holidays. Planning on practicing...

    +1 on men's shoes. If the women's Northwave shoes don't work (haven't received them yet) I'll try a pair of their men's.

    Wide feet, broad shoulders and *man hands* here - I buy men's gloves too, women's xl rarely fit me.

    Damn! Got the Northwave Devine Sbs and they are too snug. Sending them back, going to try men's.

    I knew as soon as I saw them they were going to be too small (39). Oh well, easy enough to return, hope I get lucky on the next pair.

    Buying shoes online is difficult but no one locally carries them.
