Can anyone recomend a ladies wide fitting trainer?

I have a pair of adidas trainers which are about 8 years old (very rarely worn!) but i think they may have contributed to my recently dodgy knee by not supporting my foot properly.

Anyway i think i have wide feet (not fat before anyone jumps on that one!) as i tried a few pairs on recently and they were really narrow.

So any suggestions?

i have generally found (for the mens at least) a few of the distance shoes made my saucony to be quite wide. i think i used to have the 'grid hurricane' model so they might be worth a shot. go to a local running shop and they should be able to advise you. where abouts are you based?

and yes...8 years old for some shoes is not good!! i change mine every 6-7 months or so!

Beat me to it. New Balance have an excellent range but tricky to track down. They sell online though.

seen you're in sussex, if you don't mind a trip out, i'd suggest going to alexandra sports in portsmouth. one of the better running shops i've been to (and i've been to a lot!)

lots of stock and the guys there seem to know their stuff.

Get to a proper running shop and get fitted, Fit 2 Run are Nationwide, no doubt there will be some closer to you.
