What are D width shoes?
Most people have c width. D is wider. I have a D width.
Reply:D width is for people with WIDER shoes:





Here....do what I did:





The best thing you can do is go down the a Running Lab. In fact there's a place by that name; "Running Lab."





I do a lot of running...and everyone is different. With that said, as you continue to grow and become faster, you will burn through your shoes pretty fast.





"The Running Lab" will have you take off your shoes, watch you walk, and even take an imprint of your foot. After doing so, they will spend a few minutes analyzing everything. They will ask you a few questions about your running style and your level of running.





Once they have finished they will direct you to a wall of shoes, that has ALL different brands of shoes on it and say something like; "These are what we recommend for you based on your foot's shape, the way you run, where your foot actually impacts the ground and the width of slimness of your feet.





After they show you the selection, try a few pairs on, take them for a "test run" around the block and once you've found a pair that you like, then get them.





They are GREAT! My spouse has ran a marathon and we are training once again for another one coming up in May. We always go to the running lab. Oh...and the shoes, are sold at a great price too.





And there's no extra charge for their services...it's all part of what they do. So the whole process, from the moment you get in the door to the moment you select your shoes, is free.





I've personally used the Running Lab, along with my spouse and many others, they are FANTASTIC! And they have all kinds of different Brands of shoes. From Nike to New Balance. =)





Hope this helps...
Reply:D is the Width, so it is bigger than normal shoe, It shouldn't harm you as long as you tie them good, Try them on see how they fit.


If there is a no return policy why didn't you try them on at the store. D isn't too wide, but you said you have narrow feet.


So maybe if you can't return them you could buy thicker socks, for those shoes.


Or call the store and see if you could exchange them, even with a no return policy they may be understanding if you are polite with your plyte.
Reply:If you have narrow feet, D width is going to be too wide for you. Does the store have an exchange policy? They may be willing to take the shoes back in exchange for the correct size. If you decide to keep them, they won't injure you but they won't be a very comfortable fit either.
