Wide sneakers

It is no secret that manufacturers of sports shoes, in addition to the size of the feet in length, often include in their projects one more parameter - the width of the sole. Depending on the shoe manufacturer, the width of the shoe or its fullness may be indicated in different Latin letters.

If you have a wide leg, then you need to pay attention to the following letter designations.

In the UK, the following notation is used:

"G" - for stronger ("massive") legs;

"H" - for full legs (wide feet with wide bones);

type "H 1/2" - for very full legs (very wide feet with wide bones).

In the United States, the following designations are used:

In female models

C - wide

D - double width

E - very large width

In male models:

E - wide

2E- very wide

3E, 4E - the widest models

Manufacturers who produce sneakers in a big way are not well represented on the Russian market. But still there is plenty to choose from.

For example, the American company New Balance. It has long and firmly established itself in the domestic footwear industry. It is worth noting that the entire range of footwear of this company is sewn exclusively in the United States or Great Britain. As they say, draw your own conclusion.

• Model New Balance 1080. Lightweight model, has a large difference between the heel and toe. Available in both 2E and 4E sizes.
• New Balance 880 wide trainers. Ideal footwear for walking on level ground. Will serve you more than a dozen kilometers. They have an additional cushioning insert in the sole. Available in 2E size. Of the shortcomings - they are rarely directly supplied to Russia.

The German company Brooks is a world leader in the production of professional sports shoes. Despite the rather high price - the game is worth the candle. The company guarantees that if the shoes do not fit you, you can return them within 90 days. The company provides personal footwear for many famous athletes.

• Brooks Dyad. The lineup is represented by several samples. As for the width, there are options and 4E and 2 E. Only modern technologies are used in the manufacture of these models.

• Brooks Ghost. Wide trainer shoe in size 2E. They have proven themselves well for training in the gym.

A separate stop in this review should be made on the variants of sneakers with foot support:

• The widest sneaker available in Russia is Asics. Asics is one of the world leaders in the production of special sports shoes.

• The Asics GT-2000 is a mid-range model. You will be pleasantly surprised by the width of the forefoot of these sneakers, even at the base width. Asics Foundation - 2E width size, great budget project option. For a reasonable price, you get a completely technological and designer model.

It is worth noting the presence on the market of manufacturers who make shoes simply with wide soles. For example, Inov-8 and Altra. The lineup of these companies is represented by products for natural running.

Natural running offers minimal heel-to-toe drop and free toes. From this it follows that models of this type should have a wide front part, in which the fingers can occupy all the free space.

The selection of shoes is a painstaking and creative process. With all the variety of types and models, it is worth paying attention not only to technological characteristics and technologies, but also to the simple feeling of comfort when using sports shoes. Moreover, we are talking about a specific shoe on a large foot.
