Wide shoe for Roman foot

Looking for a wide climbing shoe for Roman shaped feet. I have EEEE feet, so most climbing shoes don't tend to fit. I started off with BD Momentums which largely fit, but have tried some other moderately aggressive shoes and have not found any that worked well.

I've seen stuff on the forums and elsewhere on wider climbing shoes, largely from Scarpa and Five Ten. Do these shoes tend to work for Roman feet as well? Any recommendations? Thanks!

One of my friends has super wide feet and he wore Boreal Jokers for a while which fit him great but now he wears the Scapra Maestro's which he also likes.  

I also have wide and quite high-volume feet and Evolv's are perfect for me.  Any of their shoes that don't have a slipper design that limits the volume (X1 and Agro) fit me perfect.

Haven't ever tried any Scarpas and I've only tried a few Five Ten shoes, but the ones I did try (newer Quantums) were still too narrow for my feet despite those models being some of the wider shoes in their range.

Both 5.10 Moccasyms and Scarpa Origins work pretty well for wide feet.

I have Roman feet with 2E width and scarpas fit me the best by far. The instinct laces fit me a little better than Vapor Vs do. 

have EEE foot. scarpa maestros have worked best for me

Jeff, thanks for the advice. Do you find the instincts break in or stretch much over time? Also, do you know if the instinct laces fit different than the VS and VSR?

Nah they're synthetic so the stretch is minimal. I know they fit a little differently than the VS/VSR, but the same size in the lace and VS both feel very good for my foot. 

My Vapor Vs had to stretch after 4 or so sessions (they were a little too tight at my little toe) but are really comfortable now. 

I have wide feet with a shallow heel so sizing up makes the heel super baggy for me. I started in velcros since I mostly boulder (like the scarpa boostic) but then switched to the mago which were way more comfortable (though very different purposes as the boostic is stiff as hell). I think switched to the redesigned LS testarossa (red) and those fit like a dream in comparison. Heel fits amazing. Forefoot could be a touch wider for me taste. But laces are key

What type of climbing are you planning on doing? For bouldering, I also reach for my Instinct VS/VSR for my wide Roman foot. Remember not to size them too snug as they don't stretch at all, not even 1/2 size.

Strangely, I've also found the new La Sportiva Theory super aggressive bouldering shoe to be very comfy for my wide feet. Usually La Sportivas are a bit too narrow for my liking.

I have owned both the lace and velcro models and they fit the same, the VSR's fit the same as well but because they are a little softer I can go down half a size. I think the velcro VS is a little stiffer than the lace but that may just be my opinion. They will stretch a little under half a size so if you have a place to try them on always try on a half size bigger and that's what they will feel like after they break in.

I have extremely wide feet. Testarossas for sport/bouldering and Katana Laces for longer routes. 

I have a 9.5 EE. Medium arch, thick foot, short stubby toes, and the Katana Lace are the best fitting shoe I've tried. I would never have thought it would fit as well as it does, just from looking at it.

Just checked out Roman Foot. Looks much like mine.

I'm mostly planning on using them for bouldering, both indoor and outdoor, but I hope to start lead climbing soon as well.

Hi Warren. What did you end up buying?
