FYI.. New balance offers wide options, too

I think that might be a good choice. Unfortunately nobody seems to define exactly what a wide fit is. I measured my foot and it seems to be 100mm across at the widest part.

This has a print out, so you can stand on it and verify your size. Most places have something similar

Oh awesome I never saw this guide! Hmm, without printing and going by my rough measurements, I come up as narrow on here, but that doesn't sound right. I'll print the guide off and try, thanks for this!

No sweat. It says to measure towards the end of the day because your feet swell, throughout the day

New balance is one of the few to truly offer a range of width options. They even have extra wide shoes for little kids (which aren’t easy to find). The fit definitely makes a difference.

If the narrow is too tight I would just go up a width.

Don't forget your feet will splay out more when you stand up and put your full weight on them. The more you weigh the more they splay usually.

I find that I also go down a half size in size with NB if I go up a width fitting so if you on the border of the next size down I would try to get both sizes and return the one that doesn't fit as well.
