Hi, I think I am going to buy these (I assume you have the V11's). I have wide feet and weak ankles, do you think they support ankles well and not allow turning in of the foot too much? And is there room to put in high arch supports? Lastly, do you have any recommendations for other footwear (flip flops, slides, slippers, etc)? Thank you so much!

HiSorry if you get two emails, I pressed the wrong key just now

In answer to your questions

I have wide feet and size 9 women, very high arch.

I had to buy men's due to my size 9 feet and found standard fit are fine for me in this case but they also do wide fit I think in men's.

They are 1080 v11 about £ 134 I have worn them without orthotics but my orthotics also fit and comfortable. I do not have an ankle problem but think they would give support in this area

I also use Asics and like to rotate as believe this is good for your feet. I have not worn flip flops for a long time but would love to find good sandals for the summer that are safe and supportive, this not easy, I find Birkenstocks ok at times as I do not want to spend the rest of my life in trousers and not of the age when dresses look good with trainers, only my opinion of course

Good luck

Cheryl

Gel Kayano 26 or27 I think. Mine are 26 They are about £ 155 and worth every penny. I have to buy the mens but still ok as far as looks, comfy, soft top, orthotics fits

These have great support for ankles and high arch .I see you purchased the ones I only wear. I have worn them now for probably 20 years and have never found a better shoe I don't even look any other brand now. They do come in wide I do not need the wide myself but I'm sure they will be just as good as regular width.
