Any of you big footed folks have any luck finding a true to size, comfortable trail runner?

I've tried Merrel, Oboz, Ahnu, Nike, Salomon, La Sportiva, Vasque, and Lowa. The best fit so far has been Nike and Ahnu followed by a very distant Oboz. The Nikes were just okay and the Ahnu's were next to perfect for a week. Suddenly, they started slipping on rocks that AFLAC doesn't cover.

I wear size 14 in most trail runners. Seems quality trail runners stop just short of that. I suppose i'm looking for a support group and someone to say, "Try these!" ;p

Any advice? Thoughts? Foot shrinking exercises?

Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack

New Balance have NO trouble with size 14, standard, wide etc. Big range too. Good grip. I like them.

Cheers

I'm currently "in love" with my size 14 Asics Gel Trabuco WR (the non-Goretex version). Best comfort, fit and stability I've found yet.

Inov8's. Any model with the endurance last. I'm a wide at the toes size 14. I love my 295's. As far as i know they're the lightest size 14 out there.

I wear 14's and I just picked up some Inovs terroc 330's and couldn't be more happy.

I've got some New Balance MT909's with the NB High Arch insoles, and I love them.
