Lefty's with a wide foot....choices are well.....expensive!
« on: October 07, 2013, 01:10:14 PM »
If you are a lefty with a wide foot.  It seems your choices are .well....Expensive.

The only pairs I can find new are SST 8s that gives me a wide enough foot bed to fit into.  I miss the days of those great SST5s in a wide width.  Or SST6s.

Some questions.

How do the Ebonite Stabilites fit as far as width?  Wider or standard?  They look pretty accommodating.

There aren't any proshops that still have some lefty wide SST 5s out here are there?

Those were my favorites!  Size 9.

Regards,

I ran into a similar problem when I wanted to get a pair of adjustable soled shoes. I am a lefty with a wide foot. I have used Linds bowling shoes for years, since the mid 90's---so A few years ago when I wanted to try them, options were limited. At that time Dexter , which seems to be the "in" brand these days didn't make a wide width in lefty shoes....and linds was out of wide lefty adjustable shoes when I had called them....To stay with linds I could have had them make me a custom pair of their Exxxtra II shoes, which would have run close or over 300 dollars if I remember right. I couldn't justify that cost at the time so I held off.    Thankfully a few months later I happened to be on ebay, not even looking for shoes and I came across a brand new pair of Linds EXXXTRA II shoes , left handed, wide, and in my size for 59.95 free shipping..... Needless to say I was thrilled.

  I believe you have 2 main options.........Either be patient & investigate & wait for a good deal to pop up like I did, or ..shell out the extra money.  I hope you get some at a good price.
