It is no secret that manufacturers of sports shoes, in addition to the size of their feet in length, often lay one more parameter into their projects - the width of the sole. Depending on the manufacturer of the shoe, the width of the shoe or its completeness may be indicated in different Latin letters.
If you have a wide leg, then you need to pay attention to the following lettering.
In the UK, the following notation is used:
"G" - for stronger (“massive”) legs;
"H" - for full legs (wide feet with wide bones);
type "H 1/2" - for very full legs (very wide feet with wide bones).
In the United States, the following notation is used:
In female models
C - wide
D - double width
E - very large width
In male models:
E - wide
2E- very wide
3E, 4E - the widest models
Manufacturers who produce sneakers in a big way, are not too represented on the Russian market. But still there is something to choose from.
For example, the American company New Balance. It has long been firmly established in the domestic footwear industry. It is worth noting that the entire range of shoes of this company is sewn exclusively in the United States or in the UK. As they say, make a conclusion yourself.

It is worth noting the presence in the market of manufacturers who make shoes just on a wide sole. For example, Inov-8 and Altra. The lineup of these companies is represented by products for natural running.
