I've got wide feet also, but they're not very pretty.

I've been using New Balance walking shoes (extremely comfortable, available in widths up to 4E) and Converse has wide widths also if you want mid tops. I picked up a pair at Modell's for $40 (don't know the exact model) - I'm still breaking them in so I can't recommend them yet, but the fit is good. They have the COnverse star and >, so you'll need a Sharpie or the like.

Jimgolf,
MAke sure you are using New Balance Cross Tariners and not walking shoes. I used walkers once, as did many people here on this forum. I was lucky and didn't get a serious injury but I came very close. WALKERS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT IN SUPPORT OR DURABILTY. They are comfortable, and shine up well, but you will very likely end up with heel problems, an achilles injury, or the like. I thought they were fime until I gor a ton of response one time when I mentioned I was going to use another pair. I heard horror story after horro story from guys on thei forum. I would bet the farm that you'll get an almost unanimous concensus not to use walkers on his one. And if you're using a New Balance be sure and get a number 600 level or higher. Anything less will cause you problems.

As for the Converse Star....... how do you have a Converse Star on a New Balance Shoe?
