My feet are an unusual width. Are there certain types of shoe that might work better for me?

If you have narrow feet, look for shoes with wide-set eyelets so you can pull the laces tighter for a more secure fit. For wide feet, shoes with eyelets set closer together may give you extra room. Also, many brands now offer shoes in a variety of widths — narrow, medium, wide, or extra-wide — so choosing the right width size can make a big difference in comfort.
