I am a walker, and occasional runner, and I have always done so either barefoot or with cheapo flip flops, mostly because that's what I've been able to get away with. However I have recently moved to a place with a colder winter climate and started a part time job that requires a closed toe shoe. Currently I am wearing a cheap skechers sneaker, and having a tremendous amount of foot pain after an 8 hour shift of walking around and standing. I want to get something that is closed toe but as close to barefoot as possible. My main problem is that I have a very fat foot. I wear a size 13 4E. I did find a NB that is available in a 2E, and was thinking about ordering it in a 14 to try and get a shoe that might fit, but I think I'd end up having to return a mail order shoe. Any one have any thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated.
