Let’s pay attention to these references. What do 2E and 4E mean?
The best men’s running shoes for wide feet
1. Brooks Ghost 14
Pros:
- This model comes in standard (D), wide (2E), and extra wide (4E) so no matter your needs, you should find a Ghost 14 that fits you.
- This shoe is designed for runners doing varied distance runs over varied terrain.
- Great grip. It should work on anything you throw at it, rain or shine.
- No need for a break-in. If needed, it would possible to do a 5K on day one.
Cons
- If you run in hot weather, this shoe lacks breathability for hot summer days.
- Not not a tempo or race-day shoe. If you’re looking to beat your PRs, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo might be a better option.
Weight:
Men’s: 10.1 oz / 287 grams.

2. Brooks Adrenaline Gts 22
Pros
- For runners with wide and/or flat feet comfort is always an issue. But not with this shoe as the toe box room is wide enough.
- It’s extremely well put together and the comfortable and spacious interior has no hot spots.
- A reliable running shoe whether you run 2 or 12 miles.
Cons
- Some runners mention that there’s a 25mile break-in period.
- The 12mm hill drop could make it slightly harder to relax the pace.
- If you frequently run on wet surfaces, this shoe has only an average grip.
Weight:
Men’s: 10.4 oz / 295 grams
3. Brooks Launch 9
Pros:
- The roomy toebox and the lacing width allow you to control how the upper fits over the top of the foot.
- Compared to its predecessor, the Launch 8, the Launch 9 feels lighter, even as it seems to have more cushion.
- If you run in hot weather, this shoe is quite breathable.
Cons:
- The outsole can wear down rather quickly.
- Not a true speed trainer. If you’re looking to beat your PRs, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo might be a better option.
Weight:
Men’s: 8.1 oz / 232 grams
