Five.tens and wide feet are an iffy proposition. I've had one pair of my five.tens stretched, which helped a bit, and tried ordering the next pair one size up, which also helped a bit. They work so well that I've probably ignored that a bit more than I should, but did end up giving one pair to my son, whom the fit better than they fit me (he got an old bike on that basis, too...). The New Balance Minimus, on the other hand, fit very comfortably with a 4E last, but they're Summer shoes. I'm thinking of having a cobbler put a five.ten sole on an old pair of New Balance boots. If that works, I'll post the results on this thread.
