I have some FILA shoes which aren't bad and will consider another pair once these wear out.

I have wide feet, so my choices are limited when it comes to driving shoes. Most of them are way to narrow for me.
Yup - wide feet here as well. Traditional driving (and wrestling) shoes really pinch my feet. I swear my feet are as wide as they are long - think bear paws or something.

I'll have to look for the thinner ones. I've been pretty happy with the "normal" ones, but more feel is never a bad thing. I'm just worried the thinner ones would be even worse for standing and walking. I'm surprised you find them comfortable for that. Oh, and agreed - that square heel doesn't help. All around, though, with the limitations imposed by my gunboats, they've been pretty darn good.
