So I tried eS Silos size 12 since I found some 40% off online. Too narrow. Very stiff shoe. Oh well, add eS to the list of brands I can't wear. Size 13 too long size 12 too narrow.
Not fair being 12.5 ;( Shoe crisis continues.
I wear a size 12 Silo and I didn’t find it stiff but at first the outside toe cut a little too quickly for my foot. It is really a great shoe for older bigger skaters who have swollen ankles from uncountable sprained and broken ankles. The shoe is as wide as you are going to find my friend. I know your pain. Maybe you should buy a pair of Vans Sk8 mid or high. Those are the only wider shoes I have found. If the Silos don’t fit don’t even bother with the following:
-Cons, Nike, Adidas, Lakai
Lakai used to make wide shoes (Telford's) but they slimmed out to keep up with the trends.
For cupsole es and DC (classics) May be your only hope.
New Balance Recommends going a half size up so I can’t wear them (true 12) but if you find a size 13 NB you should try.
The NB containment thread has lots of info and they make a hybrid skate shoe they sell on Zappos that comes in a wide. I think it is called 574 as it looks like the classics jogger in a cup sole.
After I broke my left leg (regular) I ruined my shoe life cause the swelling never went down so I feel your pain cause I had to give up caring about style and turn to comfort.
