    I am a 10.5 regular (bordering on narrow) and I have had a lot of luck with New Balance. I have tried a bunch of the other names, Nike, Reebok, Adidas etc and did not like any of them. I don't run but I do BodyStep with a lot of high impact and my NB are working out great. Good luck.

    Dedicated running stores will help you with this. They will make sure to fit you in shoes that are proper for your terrain, gait, mileage, etc... And if they don't have the size there, they will order them for you. There are a lot of runner's in my running club who have to special order their shoes because of sizes.

    I wear a 10-1/2W and have tried many different shoes over the years, but Brooks was the ones I settled on. They are usually sold in running stores and most places will work with you to get the best fit.

    I am size 11 and love my Mizunos. Brooks are a bit of a wider fit so those would probably be your best option. Or check out Saucony I know they have wide sizes. Best to get fitted at a proper running store though.

    I wear size 11 or so in women but have given up trying to find shoes that fit me. The looks of the male shoes is better suited for my style anyway and they're way comfier. I recently bought a pair of Saucony Ride and they're some of the comfiest shoes I ever worn. Most other types I tried either fit way too tight or had a weird feel under the toes although I did try some adidas gt2000 I think? that were quite nice, too. I typically would be a size 8.5 but most shoes I buy are size 9 because, while they,re not quite as snug, I have more toe space and my arch doesn't feel all confined. My feet aren't fat, flat or anything, either. They're just wide and kinda high.
