Reebok answer v sz 13

These are cool but a little too small. With insoles only they are initially ok but start hurting soon. Same with the insoles x orthotics, only that they are more comfortable initially but then start hurting quite soon.

Shoebox - Nike Air Max 34

a liiiittle too bulky. Almost a good fit. Almost. 

They are on the heavy side, but surprisingly, hurt my feet less than a lot of other shoes I've tried.  

Returned.

Nike free train v8s

Why these Nike free train v8s?

Hmm. I think because the free tech and then for walking and shit. Creditably not for training per se - cause I had those new Nike training shoes which I thought made me have the training shoe game on lock (that turnt out I didn’t because they might me too big). they are too big. in length/.

Update on Jan 28 2019 at 01:00am:

It's highly likely that this was dictated with an iPhone, such is the quality of the content. At least i wqs willing to try it out.

Nike air flight 89 // RIP

Nike flight 89 size 13. Still going.  

Nike flight 89 size 13. Still going.  

Update: not going.  

Rest in peace babies. Just can't just these without my feet hurting.  

Now, if someone was to inform me about a size 14 available in charcoal grey/black ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD... I'd go to lengths to get them.

Shoe review - Dr. Martens 1461

Dr. Marten’s are a staple in any wardrobe or shoedrobe. Here’s some notes on my recent experience with them. 

Well surprisingly .. The size US 13 or UK 12s might be a good fit.. What’s also wild is that these seem to vary a lot between different units of the same shoe.

Look, for example, at this image of the classic black and the cherry red 1461s in my possession now; the black ones have a wide toe box.

Go figure. Apparently this can be a thing, according to the store I got these shoes from. 

update on 21-05-2018 :

Stuck with the black 1461s and the break-in period hasn't been as painful as expected...

how to widen shoes (discovered link)

Means I'll update this note as soon as I've found the original link again.

Step 1

Wear heavy socks to break in the shoes for a few days. Before putting them on, use a hairdryer to heat them, then bend them back and forth. If the shoes are still too tight, dampen socks and stuff them into the shoes. Let them sit until everything is dry. Pull out the socks and try on the pair again. You also can try dabbing rubbing alcohol onto the inside parts of the shoes that are too tight.

Step 2

Widen cloth or soft leather shoes by cutting into the toe area. Cut a triangle that points toward your middle toes. Try on the shoes and keep making the triangle larger until the fit is perfect. Glue along the cut edges to seal the cut areas. Add a clip-on embellishment or bow to hide the triangle.

finding good shoes for wide feet

It's quite untenable! Finding dope shoes for wide feet that is. Even more so for feet that are wide in the forefoot with narrow heels.

Here are my thoughts on a few. Generally most shoes are too long for me and most excruciatingly, too narrow at the widest part of my feet at the forefoot.

Jordan Eclipse:

Pretty good but as always, 14 a bit too narrow, 15 a bit too much movement in the shoe, while still a tad too narrow.

Jordan Eclipse

Jordan Express:

14 US were a bit too narrow. 15 I still haven't tried.. but I might end up doing that soon. It's been almost a year!

Jordan Express

to come:

Nike Air Max Goaterra 2.0:

Midfoot too narrow. Outer edge of outside midsole feels a bit too bulky. Maybe need to adjust these manually..
