My husband has to wear a lift in his shoe... one leg is longer than the other due to an accident.... and this shoe is tall enough in back to fit his lift and his gigantic foot. He has very wide feet as well. There are very few shoes that come in a 14EEE that are tall enough in back to support his whole foot. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he's owned! That days a lot because he is very picky about his feet! They are not Basketball shoes... with the high tops, but they support the ankle nicely! I hope I can find these again when he wears this new set out!
