Not sure if this had been said or not but the new janoski remasters are supposed to be wider. Not sure if that makes it good for a wide foot considering they were pretty narrow to start

for the people saying nike blazers for wide feet, your crazy. ive got a pair of the blazer xts and they are so skinny, they kill my feet even just to wear for longer than like 30 minutes. skated them once and my feet hurt for days afterwards.

bump.
any good modern WIDE skate shoes, vans are not wide.  I am wide up in the toe box. I need something.

As good ole Ernest Borgnine said below...we make the AM574 in both D and EE and there should be plenty of options.  They're in our All Coasts line for New Balance.  Those are designed in our skate office but sold to a bit of a broader audience so not restricted to skate shops only.  I don't know any shops really buying into the EE width, but you can for sure find some of the EE online (NB.com or others like Zappos). 
Hope that helps.  The 574's are suede so they really should hold up well for you, we did do a Westgate colorway on the Numeric side before we launched his full 913 pro shoe.

Just got a pair of the accel OG’s. I wear a EEE width shoe and they fit great. I highly recommend them but if you want to save some money at least on the frontside, because I cannot imagine them holding up as well, World Industries shoes have a similar fit. Vans slip-ons fit pretty well also but I don’t really like vulcs.

Pretty much every pair of Vans I've had used to pinch my pinky toe for the first few sessions. Got a pair of Sk8-hi's and not had a single issue. Must be roomier for my boat feet

Globe Sabre / Fusion / CT-IV

haven't really found any other shoes that can accommodate both my wide feet and unusually high insteps like these.

Always heard people complaining about this. I skated my first pair of old skools last week and it happened, my pinky toe is fucked right now. Never had this problem with eras or slip ons.

My Lizzie Slip-On pros are doing this to me right now but only on my left foot (and right where the ollie pad is).

I'm also still trying to find a wide enough cupsole for my apparently chode foot and can't find a single pair. My last attempt were the Adidas 3ST.003, they were close but still too narrow (the pinky toe area was fine, it was the big toe curve of the shoe that made it tight), even after flattening out. Prior to those I tried the westgate 913s, waste of cash there as they never smooshed out, still have them, in great shape (seasalt colorway, DM me if you are interested ;).

DC Mike Mo, Prod6 and DC Smiths were the only shoes in the last 5+ years that actually felt ok for me.

To make matters worse, the only shoes I find that fit well are workout / hiking shoes that have that 'wide toe-splay' toebox design; they're so comfy compared to skate shoes/boots/dress shoes/etc.

I own/used both the below shoes and they're ugly AF but comfy (note the flare on the out/pinky side, that's where I need the width and no skate shoes come close in width due to flik performance).

Already mentioned above, can confirm Dunks sides not boxing out on my feet (considered wide), whereas DC's pinky is scraping ground.

The Straye Venice and Stanley are both super fucking wide. I work in a shoeshop and get guys coming in with hobbit ass feet who say they can't find anything that doesn't hurt their feet, then end up walking out with Strayes and looking super happy about it. One guy in particular doesn't even like the way they look but he came in for his third pair a few weeks back, just because he can't find anything else that fits.
on the commentary for the scene where jeremy klein rollerblades at that little skatepark he said the actual blader with dreads who was there came up to him and asked him if he listens to korn

My go to is classic Half-Cabs, and a shoe stretcher. If I can find them used in decent condition, thats even better. Once they break in they're perfect. You can't stretch the PRO skate version of the half-Cabs though because of the Duracap.

yesterday I tried to skate in some Monarch IVs I bought for work and it made me wanna slap those folks that skate in Balenciagas and shit

anyway, my cheap new Nikes are not wide enough for my feet and are obviously a very poor choice to use while attempting advanced skateboard maneuvers

surprisingly, the cons jack purcell fit my wide ass feet pretty well.

Same. I have the Pro Suede Purcells and the One Star slips and I was pleasantly surprised to find both fit my clodhoppers nicely.

I got problems with scrunched toes in most shoes. Got the Vans style 112, with fp insoles (can't remember which style). Before I skated in them, I broke them in by rolling it up and twisting it like I'm ringing out a towel, and they felt great.

Reebok Revenge with foot prick kingfoam insoles is the best width for my wide feet.

I wished I saw this before I got my shoes. Vans authentic. They're wide enough for my widest part of my foot but squish my pinky and jam the tip of the toe next to it.
I hate shoe shopping. Its one of the worst activities ever. my work shoes have that pinky side blown out.

30 seconds in the microwave, I was able to push the rubber toes out just enough to be comfortable.

I can't buy nikes, and those blazers look narrow and feel narrow.

Half Cabs. Skate one session in them and you'll be in business. People on here have recommended Dunks to me as well, but I've yet to try a pair.
