Barefoot Shoe Suggestion for XX-Wide Feet? (lemmy.world)

I have 4-E feet. And I jog on the daily. Trying to find some good (cheap-ish, since I've been looking for work forever; I realize that will probably negate the "good") wide shoes.

For most of my life I used New Balance. They're really clunky. I did buy some WHITAM's on Amazon, but (while "naked' enough) the eyelet broke within the first 2 weeks and they're starting to fall apart. Not surprised because they were cheap & made in China.

Should I just stick with WHITHAM/New Balance? Any others people would recommend?

I've used both Xero and Vivo barefoot, they've held up for years as daily walkers. I don't run but I know people who have said good things about them.

If you want something with a bit more padding, aka a transitional shoe - Altra have a wide range and are good quality.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for, these are on the pricier end.
