Men's wide fit trainers
Four styles up to UK 12, with the depth to take a prescribed insole and a seam-free forefoot lining for feet that cannot afford to be rubbed. £49.99 on every style and every size.

Extra wide at the top of the size range
The problem for larger feet is that room usually stops being offered exactly where it is most needed. Plenty of ranges do a wide version to UK 10 and then quietly revert to standard. Every style here is made in every size to UK 12, so a UK 12 in DW-019 Full-Wrap Extra Wide Trainer is a normal stocked variant rather than a special order.
Which style to choose
| Style | Opens to | Choose it if |
|---|---|---|
| DW-006 Twin-Strap Wide Fit Trainer | 34 mm | Standard trainers feel tight across the ball of the foot but you can still get them on, and you want the most structured, most shoe-like option |
| DW-013 Mesh Wide Fit Trainer | 46 mm | Feet run hot, damp or sore across the forefoot, and you want the most breathable shoe and the easiest step across from an ordinary trainer |
| DW-015 Extra Wide Wrap Trainer | 58 mm | Bunions, hammer toes or a forefoot that has spread, or an orthotic that needs vertical room as well as girth |
| DW-019 Full-Wrap Extra Wide Trainer | 72 mm | Oedema, lymphoedema, bandaging, a dressing, or feet whose volume changes markedly between morning and evening |
There is no width fitting to choose. Every style comes in one extra-wide adjustable fitting per size, UK 3–12 (EU 36–46), whole sizes only, £49.99 on every style and every size. You choose the size, then set the width on your foot with the strap. "Opens to" is the gap the shoe makes across the instep with the strap fully released — the number that decides whether a foot, a dressing or a bandage can actually get in.
DW-006 Twin-Strap Wide Fit Trainer is the default for a diabetic foot with no swelling — most structure, separate control of forefoot and instep, and a moulded toe bumper. Add an orthotic or a spread forefoot and DW-015 Extra Wide Wrap Trainer is the better shoe. Swelling related to heart, kidney or circulatory conditions, or any dressing, takes you to DW-019 Full-Wrap Extra Wide Trainer. If your feet get hot in a closed shoe, DW-013 Mesh Wide Fit Trainer has the open-mesh forefoot panel.
Diabetes, orthotics and everyday wear
Men buy these most often for diabetic feet, for custom orthotics, and for swelling related to heart or circulatory conditions. The specification follows from that: a seam-free forefoot lining, a deep toe box, a removable multi-layer insole — blue gel over 5 mm and 3 mm EVA — a firm heel counter and hook-and-loop instead of laces.
They also get bought by people who work long days standing up and are tired of their feet aching by three o'clock, which is a less dramatic reason and just as valid.
Materials and durability
Engineered mesh and heather knit upper, EVA midsole. The outsole uses a rubber pad where wear actually happens, and DW-013, DW-015 and DW-019 carry a visible air unit in the heel. Expect six to twelve months of daily wear before the insole and midsole lose their support; the upper usually outlives the cushioning.
