I'm new to this minimalist shoe arena. It would be great if I could find a pair or two that fit. So far I've tried some KEEN Sandals with no luck. I also tried a pair of Vibrams KSO, and that was also a bust.
I need to find something that will fit me. Men's 13 Wide width.
Specifications for the sandals:
Men's 13W Closed-toe design (I don't want my toes dangling out) Strap closure preferred, but I would consider minimal laced design.
**I tried the Keen Men's Newport Sandal with no luck. The design was good, it just wasn't the right size.
Uses would be for walking, light trekking, fishing.
Specifications for the Minimalist Shoes:
Men's 13W Very thin or thin rubber soul. Strap closure preferred, but I would consider minimal laced design.
**I tried Vibrams KSO size 44. But I couldn't even get it on. I already confirmed that a larger size wouldn't work any better. The extra material would only add more length, not width.
<hr>Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to put all the information out there. I would appreciate all help possible. There has to be shoes/sandals out there that will fit me. I know I'm not the only guy with big feet. :)

You received some bad sizing on the KSO's. My foot measures out as a 8.5 EEEE with a high arch, high instep, and narrow heel. I have never been able to get any Keen's on because of this.
I do wear a KSO all the time, a size 43 so there is no way that a 44 is the right size for you. You would need to be in a much larger size.
If I remember right, when I first tried a pair on, according to some of the sizing charts, I should have been in a 41, which didn't work, but I just kept doing up a size at a time until I found the one that fit. It was the best thing I did! I love them and wear them every day as my only shoe.
Don't give up on FiveFingers - find the right size. You will be very glad you did.
