do you need to buy extra wide shoes for this brace to fit into them or can you wear regular size shoes if your feet aren't extra wide??

the material brace is made from can be shaped to acommodate small chage to width. I fit mine into 91/2 regularathletic shoes.

The insert material wasn't thick and therefore, regular size shoe worked for my brother. His feet are not wide.

My daughter wears a size 6 1/2 to a 7 shoe/cleat. She is wearing a size small in the brace. The extra small I bought her 3 years ago is too tight to be comfortable. She wears it for softball after breaking her ankle at practice. It is excellent for support.

You don't need to step into this product. There is a simple velcro fastener. The additional straps are to tighten the brace. I have found the brace to be comfortable, but a little warm after a few hours. However, it is cooler than other braces I have worn.

I have normal width feet, and I will say they were a little tight when I first put them on. But they mold nicely to your feet right away. Hope this helps.

Yes. I wore mine inside a pair of Merrill athletic shoes that zipper up the front. For me this was comfortable and gave my foot the support needed. Put the brace on and see what flat shoes you have that it will fit inside.

My foot size is very different from yours but I can say that the straps are very adjustable and the "frame" part of it is quite roomy and I believe it would still fit fine if I had a very wide foot. You may want to make sure wherever you purchase from has a free return policy just in case so you would not be out any $ if it happened not to fit. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure a wide width would fit in the shoe. I think a regular normal width would fit great. If there's anyway you could try them on somewhere that might be to your advantage

You'd have to have very large shoes indeed. The plastic part is firm and the velcro + strap assemblies are well-padded. In addition, it is uncomfortable to walk in the brace because it digs into the front of your leg when you step forward with the opposite foot. I wear mine only at night.

Yes, I have custom orthotics and they work just fine. I wear a women's size 9 narrow shoe and bought a medium Adjust-a-Heel Lift. I needed to trim it since it was too wide for my shoe. This size might work prefectly for a wide shoe, however.

The brace is adjustable with velcro straps so it should be universal fit. I did notice, however, that several times it slipped down and I did have to refasten to make it tighter.

This is a great brace. It doesn't fit in shoes. It's very adjustable and gives great support. I wear it around the house doing housework with my slippers on. When working in the yard I wear it with my husbands crocks however it gives great support for a very bad arthredic ankle. I use the Alpha Medical Compression Suport Ankle Brace in my regular shoes and sneakers when working out!

I suppose you are asking if you can play sports while wearing the brace? Yes. It will make you shoes a little tighter because it is thick, but I did cycling when I wore mine. I didn't do anything higher impact than that because I wanted to let the ligaments heal, but if you want to push it, I"m sure the brace will help.

The size I ordered fit me just fine & I ordered my regular shoe size. I have a wide foot also & no problems there either.

I would say that if you wear a wide is street shoes... get a wide in a road bike shoe. The part number would be SH-R088W (you can find it on zappos.com)

Yes you can. I have wide feet and ordered the wider size and am still very happy with my berkis!!

Yes. Both are the same. The brace covers only the arch of the foot, leaving the front of the foot and the heel free, so it doesn't matter which foot you put it on, it will still fit.
