Too bad you don't live near a Sweatshop cause they'll fit you with the right trainers. They did wonders for me.

I've got a pair of Nike+ Vomero trainers and they have a wide toe box on them.

I think your best bet will be to find a shop with a larger selection and try on a few different pairs to get the right fit for your feet. A specialist shop would be good and you can find a list of great ones at Runners World (UK).

Go to their website and on the menu at the top just select "Gear" and then on the submenu select "Shopping".

Surely Ironbridge Runner can sort you out?
Or Runners Guide in Torquay?
Or Frank Elford in Plymouth?

There's three stores for you in Devon!

I agree between the three of them you should find a decent pair of running shoes. I might pop into Ironbridge Runner today and check out their new store.

I've bought shoes from all three and Franks now do video gait analysis. Where did you go Tony Pryce?
