Well, I guess I could qualify as a trail runner, maybe even a card carrying member of the mafia. But I don't have exceptionally wide feet, although they have plenty of other problems.

But......sometimes........certain shoes fit me perfectly..........except for that "scrunched" little toe. If I go to the next width, the whole shoe is to wide. Alas, there is a fix. At least one that works for me.

Check this
out. The little "ortho plug" thingy is a recent improvement I don't have. I just use bits of wood or plastic to create a real custom fit. This little goodie has injected new life into several pairs of trailrunners that I was ready to relegate to casual wear.

I know what you may be thinking. Synthetic shoes, unlike leather, can't be stretched permanently. They can. If you're careful and patient.
