Wide fit white trainers similar to common projects?

[AdamUK]

Does anyone know of any clean-looking white trainers like the common project one but in a wide fit?

I am struggling to find anything which has a minimal design and looks sharp, if anyone can point me the right way with a UK store would appreciate it! Budget £150

They don't exist to my knowledge. I have very wide feet, and fashion sneakers (Adidas Stan Smith/Converse Chuck Taylor clones) are inherently narrow. That rubber side wall does not allow your toes any room to spread. And a rubber toe cover? Forget about it. Unless you are fanatically dedicated to the trend and are willing to endure discomfort and blisters in the pursuit of casual style (which is contradictory).

I imagine none of these companies riding the fashion sneaker bandwagon offer a 3E/4E width because it undoes the sleek aesthetic and makes them look like clown shoes.

If you like the simple white sneaker look, I recommend something like Reebok classics:

Classic Leather Shoes - Ftwr White / Ftwr White / Pure Grey 3 | Reebok

Shop for Classic Leather Shoes - Ftwr White / Ftwr White / Pure Grey 3 at Reebok.com. See all the styles and colors of Classic Leather Shoes - Ftwr White / Ftwr White / Pure Grey 3 at the official Reebok online store. A true '80s OG. Consider these women's Reebok Classic Leather Shoes your blank...

You'll note that the design allows your feet and toes to spread comfortably over the sole. They're not walled in with rubber lining.

To me, sneakers are sneakers. Strictly casual, strictly for comfort. If you wouldn't wear a pair of sneakers for exercising, they serve no purpose. Especially at $300+ price tags. Just silly.

I would strongly recommend the Birkenstock Bend for wide feet.

Thanks for the great info.

I usually have to get a mesh type trainer as they have a lot of give in then so even if they are wide fit it does not matter.

I tried some "allbirds wool pipers" they stretched to my feet nicely. Was worried about how difficult they would be to keep clean , could also see my big toes through the material sticking up and the heel very uncomfortable so they went back.

Need a nice trainer or maybe even shoe to go with Chino shorts in the summer.

These aren't as fancy as maybe you were searching for, but it someone is suggesting Reebok, then I can suggest these. Florsheim consistently stocks wide sizes. This pair didn't look too bad to me.

Frank and Oak has minimalist white shoes that are pretty wide.
