Thanks . but Im shocked that such footwear that Im looking for probably doesnt exist yet according to your search. I feel like Id make a fortune creating sneaker boots that fit into my criteria stated here cause Ive seen a surprisivng number of others on reddit ask for this same type of sneaker boot. I just need the capital and the time to produce a business specializing in the creation of such footwear.
At this point I feel t hat either custom made, waterproof sneaker boots or waterproof barefoot boots plus me wearing like 3 pairs of socks at the same time are my only cureent options. ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
Best of wishes with your search. it SUUUCKS having wide feet. Ive had to wear the same pair of shoes for like 15 years cause I cant find ANY manufacturers that make footwear for wide feet.
