Scarpa has historically had the best last for wide feet though I haven't worn their rock shoes to comment directly about fit.

I know La Sports are narrow but Mythos for trad and Muira lace for sport are the only shoes that work for me because they stretch to fit after a shitty month of painful climbing they become perfect
If anyone knows of other stretch to fit shoes lemme know I've love to try something new. I thought the new BD laceup with the woven tops would work and they did but the woven material broke down very quickly

I have wide, flat feet. I pretty much only use two models of shoes these days- the Anasazi VCS, and the Sportiva TC Pro. In general, Sportiva rock shoes haven't worked for me so well, but the TC's do for some reason. In the past I tried the Scarpa Grandstones and the Evolve Astromans, both of these shoes felt really clunky and boxy, whereas the TC's are superb.
The Anasazis are amazing for me, good for pretty much everything except routes which require sustained foot jamming. I also use the Anasazi blancos for harder face routes. They are comfortable.
As pointed out above, Scarpa is known for having a wider fit also, but I've never found them to fit well for me.

Hi Mike, why would I come to Groveland when Yosemite is just up the road?
Edit: LOL j/k
I'll probably be in that zone this fall! Let's climb something.

5.10 use to have a soft slip lasted blue suede low top. Was great for my fat tender feet and was the last shoe I wore. Doesn't look like they make it anymore.

Check out the Bultora Green high tops. These are made especially for wide feet.
Check out Scarpa Instinct, both lace or Velcro. Hope this helps!
