It is no secret that manufacturers of sports shoes, in addition to the size of their legs in length, often put another parameter in their projects - the width of the sole. Depending on the manufacturer of the shoe, the width of the shoe or its fullness may be indicated by different Latin letters.
If you have a wide leg, then you need to pay attention to the following letter designations.
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 USA, the following designations are 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

For example, the American company New Balance. It has long and firmly strengthened in the domestic shoe 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 the saying goes, make your own conclusion.

It is worth noting the presence on 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.
Natural running involves minimal heel-toe drop and free toe work. It follows that models of this type should have a wide front part in which fingers can occupy all the free space.

With all the variety of types and models, it is worth paying attention not only to technological characteristics and technologies, but also to simple feelings of comfort when using sports shoes.
