i have a flinststone foot and a high instep, with a bum left toe joint, and have always had good luck with birks. i've worn the regular, but the wide really gives room for socks and feels better to me. i realize they are now mostly made in china now though, so all bets are off. bonus is that they are back in style now! woohoo!

as far as athletic shoes, i like new balance and adidas. they seem to fit better.

oh, and uggs
