Hi,

I am seeking for wide fit sneakers for myself. I like the look on Common Projects or Svenssons, Gustin etc. However, every options are for narrow-feet persons. Do you guys have any alternatives?

- White leather, minimalist look
- Wide last
- High quality
- Price under 300.
- Delivery to EU area

Allen Edmonds makes a EEE "courtside sneaker" but this is the kind of money I would spend on a dress shoe, not a sneaker.


I have EEE feet and gave up on minimalist "fashion sneakers" (ie. Stan Smith, Converse, Vans clones) because they're all made for narrow feet. The rubber wall around the footbed prevents my feet and toes from spreading comfortably and creates a lot of friction. All of my footwear must lack this rubber wall.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it seems that AE quality for these sneakers is bad.

If there is alternative suggestions I would like to hear. Price even with AEs is not an issue if quality would par with Common Projects or other high-quality sneakers.

I don’t dabble in these waters, my price cutoff for sneakers or any disposable footwear with a life expectancy of under 3 years is $80.

Someone once suggested Mephisto, you could look into that, but I don’t know if they offer EEE widths.

If craftsmanship and quality is of paramount concern for your sneakers and price is truly no object, you could look into commissioning a bespoke pair. It goes without saying that this would be pretty silly, however.
