New balance makes wide shoes. Get a pair of black cfross trainers (608?)

I have the Spot-Bilt from last year's +POS catalog. Just get a 1/2 size bigger and you should be fine. I went from an 11 to an 11 1/2 and have had no problem since.

Bob,
I use my old Hoops shoes for the yard. They still hold a nice shine, but they don't sqeak enough for the hardwood.

rebok makes an excelent DMX walking shoe that i have had no problems with on any dry surface and very little on damp ones and coms in wide is like walking on pillows and takes leather luster well
good luck

I also have a wide foot and a high instep. Iused to wear spot built, but this year I tried Nautilus. I had a choice between steel toe and bno steel toe. I chose the steel toe. I've only worn them for two games, but they are real comfortable.

Regards
Phil

I tried the size I have worn for 35 years in the Spotbilt turf shoe this year. Way narrow. Tried next full size and only gained about 3/16" to 1/4" in length and width is comfortable. I really like the feel of them on the field, and they take a real good shine. Remember that many of these shoes are made outside the US and may not be consistent in sizing. Same with changes in sub-contractors. I had that experience with Honig plate pants few years ago. Had to try 3 different styles b4 finding a true 38. (Now a 36!)
