it works. We both wear a 13 wide. Sadly, he inherited my Fred Flintstone-like feet.

I have tried a lot of different shoes, but finally discovered the best brand for me, New Balance. After scouring the internet for deals, I have come across a few go to sites for NB clearance deals.

Basically, I cop 2 or 3 pairs every month. None over $60, some as low as $25. We've got runners, cross trainers, casual sneakers, cleats (he plays lacrosse and rugby), and hikers.

I might get a pair, wear them a few times and give them to him. Or, I might order him some, they arrive, and I decide to keep them for myself :).

Currently, between the two of us, we have about 20-25 pairs of NB.

Every blue moon. I'll get another brand, like some classic Adidas, Vans or Pumas. But, because of my chubby feet, they never look as cool as I thought they would. So, those end up going to him.
