Best online shoes store in the UK?

looking for large running shoes

• I have big feet and i need good running shoes I have Nike Shox in 15 and they are too small. I can wear size 14 (UK size) doc martens with no discomfort. the equivalent US size is 15.5 i guess, but they are pretty wide. if they are equivalent to a doc martens 14, they should work for me. I DO want: running shoes, good for short or long distance running at high speed high-quality shoes, such as those costing $100 and up from nike, adidas, asics, newbalance, and saucony size 16 or 15 extra wide. I DO NOT want: basketball shoes (these are easy to get in large sizes but suck to run in), cross-trainers (ditto), boots/regular shoes (anything i can't run in), cheap/bad shoes (no-name brand, <$50) etc If you want to comment about good casual shoes in 15+, that would be great and i would appreciate it (the only casual shoes i can find are a few models from timberland, and the doc martens), but the answer i am looking for will be a specific url/manufacturer/style combination, or a store in the SF Bay Area that sells RUNNING shoes in size 16 or 15 EEE (along with the specific shoes) here's pics of good shoes (anything like this = mucho gusto) http://www.weplay.com/Asics/running/shoes/2060/2060-w.jpg http://www.runningcenter.com/images/Fall00/Nike-Converge-Max-w.jpg http://static.epinions.com/images/ext/sprt/294/sprtRunningNike_Air_Max_Tailwind.jpg http://www.kicksology.net/images/reviews/nike/review_jetflight_sole.jpg here's some pics of bad shoes (i don't want shoes like these) http://www.runningbear.co.uk/images/Nike%20Air%20Storm%20Pegasus.jpg - these are more for trail running (cleats)http://static.epinions.com/images/ext/sprt/301/sprtBasketballNike_Air_Jordan_XIV.jpg basketball shoes (big clunky soles not made for distance or speed - these are made to stop and turn) http://www.instyleshoes.com/images/kicks/830119101s.jpg - more basketball shoes http://www.runningnetwork.com/images/productreviews/merrellterrator.jpg - and more trail running shoes you would think it would be easy but it's been really hard. money is no object - in fact, the more $ they are, the better (the Shox i dont wear cost $150). if you can't find any, PLEASE DON'T ANSWER. thanks

• Answer:

  First, I think you may need 16, if 15 doesn't fit you. It seems many models of running shoes run a little small. Be aware of that when you buy - you may need a bit larger size than your regular one. New Balance is the major brand name that makes running shoes that size. I personally recommend these ones, they are very comfertable and with good support. I also found nice Eccos (which is one of the best brands in the world, in my opinion) - However, Ecco don't do running shoes. Their shoes are very comfertable for hiking, working, etc. The problem with New Balance is that their factory ships only in continental US. You can of course make an order through a store in the UK; or buy through the Internet. So, are New Balance Shoes good for you? There are plenty in your size. http://www.aperfectdealer.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/c-Men6s_Running_Shoes.html?L+scstore+mvgt3874+1022927364 - you can also chose the width, and not only the size, in this store, so you can chose narrow 15s; here you have them again - up to 17 - http://www.jseigelfootwear.on.ca/newbalance.html http://reliant.igdc.com/cgi-bin/tame.exe/genesshoes/mshop.tam?cat.ctx=mens&text=Men's%20Shoes%20at%20Shoe%20Connection - They also have nice men's shoes - again running shoes are New Balance's. I also refer you to this discussion group on running - http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&group=rec.running They may be able to offer you other advices and tips.
