Reebok G6s. I think they cater to wide feet better then lavers. they are a ton more comfortable and grippy too. you don't slide all over floors with them like you would with lavers

I always thought G6s have a much more slender sole, though. I mean, if you make the comparison with Rod Lavers the G6s are a bit more curvier. Plus, i can't seem to get a good fit with Spencos insoles in them that I have to shave the arch support just a bit to make a nice comfortable fit.

I think Rod Lavers are key for wider feet-ed people in this sense. Or Climacool 1s. Just my 2 cents.

New Balance 520's allow you to order them online in different widths. The toes on these are outstanding.

520's are the widest shoes I've used for footbag.

New Balance makes their shoes in different widths, plus they are more comfortable than the rod laver.

ROFL.....
I've already got new balance 520's :D
Yeah the toe is great, but they are a bit heavy for my liking. They are comfortable in the 4e width fitting, other shoes just don't fit

Do lavers or g-units come in different widths? :?
