haven't tried any of the 3 but looking to make a purchase very soon. Thinking of going with oak street cause of relatively better pricing and positive reviews of quality. Question: what would you recommend for someone with a wide foot but without a really wide heel. As in i need an E for the middle and balls of my feet but don't want the heel to be too loose.Originally Posted by scourage
you should be okay in yuketen e widths in most styles. oak street has a wider width option as well but you might need to confirm that with them. quoddy makes several widths but you will most likely have to order from them and that can take anywhere from 2 - 6 months.

i meant various width options, not heel. actually, if you need something really customized russell moc might be a good option for you as well. those guys can do anything with sizing. they have some really cool stuff and they do a single, double and triple vamp shoe. they are about 5 or 6 months out as they are extremely popular right now. their website sucks but they will send you a catalog (you have to request it) that has some great pics in it. the judy boot and some of the thula thula stuff are my favorites. http://www.russellmoccasin.com/

thanks, just wanted to check.
Russel is a good thought. Would like for this summer though, but the thought of something really customized for sizing is great. I sent george a pm about sizing. I'll probably go with oak street if it sounds like it will work.

can you point them out, please?Originally Posted by A.L.Z.
sure. tbs - you need to click on the pic of the shoe (there are several) ... you will see the inside of the shoe is marked e along with the corresponding size. revolver ... click on the mg pic (you can see they mark e width) blackbird ... they are marked e width etc ... . most of the retailers that carry d widths specifically say so. let me know if you need anything else.

All of Colette's are E width. Oddly OC seems to have taken to D width this season. I'll have to go in store to confirm.

They were all E last season at OC. Don't bother responding to A.L.Z. His trolling is Obvious and annoying at this point.
