    Looks like it may be a moot point.

    The link above looks to be live for a 10.5.

    Just made the decision to give away 3 expensive pairs of shoes due to them not fitting my duck feet. I think over the last few years a heel deformity/spur kind of thing I have from bad reactive arthritis from 30 years ago has gotten a little worse….
    Anyways, donating a pair of Allen Edmunds, a pair of Mephistos, and a pair of Asolo Fugitive GTXs. That last pair, even in a wide, *almost* works but rubs a spot on the outside of my big toe. It’s a shame, if a pair of hiking boots can be sexy, those are it.

    I probably need to replace the Asolos with something else, I don’t have any midweight hikers now.

    I have 5 pairs of Allen Edmund dress shoes I’m still hanging onto; got to eventually figure out if I should give them away also. Those used to work well for me, not sure anymore. Need to wear one pair for a few days and see.

    I have used a shoe stretcher for decades to fix narrow shoes. I actually prefer shoes stretched to my liking over too wide wide shoes.

    Couple of new options I wasn’t aware of

    Seems to preserve the KEEN toe, but the colors aren’t anything I’m super excited about

    I have not had the impression that ON was “duck foot” friendly but these seem to maybe have a wider toe than the other models?

    I have a bunch of miles on a couple pairs Oboz Sawtooth Mids, available mids and lows. GTG for trail and town.

    Added bonus of no reflective trim, important to some.

    Thought I would throw this into the thread.

    I asked for advice regarding a new USPSA shoe here recently, and eventually purchased a pair of these in 8.5 Wide:

    I would describe them as running shoes with fairly soft, grippy, chevron-shaped studding on the soles. I like them a lot. The Saucony is on the right, next to my at least six year old Merrell MOABs:

    Finally broke down and ordered these in black. Ordered my standard Ken size of 10.5 only to have them feeling a little short, so have now ordered an 11 as well in the expectation that the half larger size will be perfect.

    Initial impressions were favorable, and the wife and daughters didn’t laugh at the shoes so they must not be too bad…

    if those work, order a second pair and alternate their wear. Do this and they will last far longer than if you wear a pair into the ground and then buy a second. Putting shoe trees (even plastic ones) will get you even more shoe life.

    Following with "keen" interest as my Merrell Moab Ventilator Mids (non GTX) are in the last 20% of their life I suspect such that I will be replacing them this spring/summer.

    This. When I find a pair I really like, I order a couple more and either rotate them or designate street/field/spare.
