Wide feet need more than one candidate shape
Lems Primal 3 is one named starting point: Lems places it in its widest natural-shape fit category. Be Lenka also emphasizes anatomical toe space, but that description does not establish an identical shape across its models. Compare the exact size chart and toe outline for the model you can buy. WHITIN listings may offer a wide variation, yet you need to confirm that the selected option is actually that variation rather than relying on the search title.
Identify where your width is concentrated
A broad toe spread, a broad midfoot and a high instep can each create a different fitting problem. If the toes are free but the laces have to be loosened almost completely, investigate depth and midfoot volume. If the forefoot is comfortable but the heel lifts, simply adding length is unlikely to solve it. Keep a note of which area fails in each candidate; that information is more useful for the next purchase than deciding an entire brand is wide or narrow.
