Such thing as cute "extra wide" sneakers?



Recommended Posts

Before surgery I wore men's New Balance sneakers with a width size of 4EE or could be 4EEEE. I just know they're really wide. And ugly. Even though I've lost 100 lbs my feet are still really wide. Tried on sneakers in the normal wide sizes, but still too tight.

So where can I find some cute WOMAN'S sneakers (that I can get different colors) and cute styles?

New Balance has wide also. If you have a store around you they can measure you to the shoe that will fit you best.

I just got some Brooks size 9EE. They have them in all kinds of cute colors. I had to give it a couple of days to get used to them but know I love them. I also used to wear New Balance. Zappos sells them but I got them through my podiatrist. Here is a link:

I also have double wide feet. I have had good luck with Sketchers in W. Cute styles and even bought two pairs of boots. 90% of wide shoe brands still don't fit me because I also have a very high arch but those are pretty comfortable.

I think during spring break in a couple weeks, I'm gonna take a ride up to Foxwoods and hit the Sketchers store. I keep hearing good things about them.

Right now my feet are so wide. I too am wearing men's EE new balance. Last time I had lost weight my feet narrowed a little. I'm hoping I can at least get back to wearing women's sneakers

I have super wide feet, and losing 120 pounds didn't change that. Oh well

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
