Thick wide feet? Need cushioning.

[J011yroger]

I coach a boy with heel issues and Achilles tightness, he has Sever's disease and wears Men's size 8. He needs a shoe with lots of cushioning but our man has hobbit feet so when the shoe is laced it pushes down and hurts his heel.

He doesn’t want to wear tennis shoes because his Hoka running shoes hurt less but I need him in something with lateral stability.

Appreciate any recommendations.

New Balance 1007 in 4E width. Fresh Foam X is very cushiony and is the same cushioning in their most cushioned running shoes.

Throw away the new balance insoles. Buy Dr Scholls float on air. Buy Dr Scholls heel and arch. Put both insoles in the shoes. Put the heel and arch underneath the float on air.

I have heel bursitis and achilles tendinosis. I have 4e width feet. I've tried about 30 different shoes and 30 different insoles.

For wide feet and cushioning, the usual suspects are the Revolt Pro, Propulse Fury, Diadora Torneo, 1007, and the LAVs.

TY we are going to give TW some business.

Only fair for the amount of my crap they put up with.

Also forgot about the Cage 4 Rafa if you can still find those somehow. Older generations of the SpeedServe energized are comically wide.

Gel Resolution and the Coco CG1 also comes in wide but those are mid-tops AND I don't know what the cushioning is like on those because I never tried. Please let us know what he ends up going with because I only addressed the width/cushioning part of your question but didn't really comment on the height/instep of those models.
