Wide shoes? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have weird flipper feet, so I find myself limited to brands that offer 4E width (typically 10.5 @ EEEE ) does anyone have any recommendations? Any style goes as long as they offer closed toes

Hm, do they need to be Steel toe? The Jim Green boots are not truly barefoot, as they still have a proper thick tread, they just don't have a heeldrop and are extra wide. Unless your workplace asks for like, a receipt for your boots where they would notice they're called barefoot, they wouldn't be perceived as barefoot from a casual inspection, they just look like a leather hiking/work boot.

The same could be said for the other brands I linked, none of them have like individual toes or anything, they look like normal sneakers, just wide.
