As you are in Decathlon country, have you tried those http://www.decathlon.fr/arpenaz-500-l-fresh-rose-id_8299100.html Available until 42 and my all time favourite hiking sandals. I have a high foot arc and a wide foot and they fit me very comfortably. Bon Chemin, SY
I'm just courting ideas and seeking advice from anyone in the know? I'm going to buy some Teva sandals. I will still walk with my Saloman shoes but I'd like these as my second shoe... and I've been reading the 'sandals' thread with interest.
What a waste of good boots wonzi!!I love my Merrill boots but I also love my Teva sandals. This year, (2015) I walked Le Puy to Santiago and discarded my boots at the beginning due to an awful odor. Found out when I got home that I could just change the inserts! Duh! So, I walked the rest of the way in my sandals - sometimes with socks and most of the time without. Never a problem and never a blister. I wore the same size as I would if I were home. Love my Tevas. But, as I plan this year's walk, I have already bought my new Merrill's and will bring my Tevas again.
She can't try them on, she must order them, hence her post.Go for a long walk first or towards the end of the day when you've been on your feet all day and they are swelled up a bit to get the best fit when trying on new footwear.
I feel for you. I go to the local sports shoe retailers and admire the enormous range of shoes on the wall, but as soon as I ask which they have in a 44/45 and 4E fitting, there are suddenly only one or two options left to choose from.As well as being a UK 8 I'm also a 4E wide

Feet get wider as people weigh more... Maybe the markets are differentYou would have no chance in France
I did look at the New Balanc shoe, which on the US site has different width fittings, including 4E. But on the UK and French sites they seem to just have the 2E. I did email them in 2014 and ask about it but they simply said it was down to demand? Maybe American's have wider feet?
Interestingly... my foot is as wide around as it is long

I would be interested to see the evidence for this, and whether there are other factors correlated with wider foot width.Feet get wider as people weigh more
Me too! The women's stuff is higher priced, usually. The gender tax issue is real! And since it's men's stuff, I can get it in gray and black not purple and pink so the pieces are much easier to match up in all of my outdoor activities.@SYates ... I'm already a crossdresser... fleece, jacket, shirts, t-shirts, socks and shoes
