    As a start, one of our advertisers has a range of choices here. Have you had some trouble finding them in that size, or are you asking for vendor testimonials, or ?

    These may be way out of your price range but they are bound to be highest quality, last you a lifetime and fit perfectly.

    I would also be willing to give them a go...although I've never made a pair just like that, here's my credentials:

    I know just what you mean. I currently wear a pr of 13 Wide wingtips I bought from J.C. Penney, they are too long but it took that to get them wide enough.

    So far I haven't found a pair of Gillie Brogues that felt right when I put them on. I won't order by mail because of the shape of my feet (sorta like Donald Duck's), and I would just have to return them. If you do find some wide ones, let me know.

    I bought my ghillies from them. I wear a size 15 and they had them in stock. Their service was great and the shoes still look great after five years of wear (I did have them resoled.)

    If any of you know of a source for WIDE ghillies, all of us honorary members of Clan Duckfoot would be greatly appreciative

    I'll take those in a 12EEEE, please.

    Well, that would be me (Clan MacDuck I mean). I wear a 12. I bought a pair of 12.5 that barely fit. So if there are any sources for wide ones, I'd be extatic.
