I bought a pair that seemed to be comfortable in the store, but upon using them for a half hour I find they are much too narrow for my wide feet. I wear a 10.5 4e street shoe and got 5.10 coyote lace ups in size 11. After a half hour or so of use, my two outside toes begin hurting due to being crushed inward because of the width of the shoe.<br /><br />The symmetrical toe box on this shoe seems like it would help, but I was wondering if anyone knew specifically if it was good for people with wide feet?<br /><br />Edit: I should add that I would like to go climbing outdoors with some people that I know who do multi-pitch trads, so a long wearing comfortable shoe is going to be necessary. question_134834 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:50:53 GMT
