Same idea. I'm 7.5 or 8 EEEE (in New Balance runners)... if anybody knows of WIDE shoes I'd like to know.

according to one of the reps they only have the model corsa which can be obtained in size EE that are SFI rated. For a person with a wide foot such as EE they recommend the spyder model for driving then the G16 and mulholland 2, not SFI. for PDA or hpde you'll have to check the requirements

I had been prepared to buy Piloti, but because of discontinuities in
SafeRacer's sales policy, I turned to GForce shoes from DiscoveryParts.
GF230 Shoes GF-4230 Sizes 3-14

High-Top Racing Shoes. SFI-3.3/5 Rated With A Suede Shell,
Nomex Liner, And RaceGrip Beveled Sole.

I have a relatively narrow foot and should wear a 14-1/2 or larger. The
size 14 GF230 is a good deal wider than I need, and a bit short for the
length of my foot. It is also about 40% of the cost of the Corsa.

DiscoveryParts gave me exceptional sales and after-sales support.
I also had occasion to sample their no-hassle returns policy - they
expressed an alternate set of gloves to my event hotel and left me
on my honour to return the ones I'd initially ordered.

I see UltraShield offers a new design for '08 and has these in 14. No
indication of width.

Ultrashield SFI 3.3/5 Shoes
