Some time ago I ordered UA Authentic Wide C 2.0's in Green but via the Customs creator. I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly. That said green doesn't go with everything. Is there some way to find wide Vans on the regular website or are doing customs the only way to find the 11W I need? If I go to men's shoes they only show 11 and 11.5 in the filter but no wides.

I'm hardly an artist as evidenced by my totally unoriginal green shoe with white trim. It would be nice if I could just browse some awesome looking shoes designed by someone else, but that I know will fit me.

Here are some wide options on the Vans site (US link). I see some "aloha" pattern custom options there right now too.

Also, not sure how long ago you customized your pair, but there are a bunch of pattern options in the customizer.

That's awesome! Thank you! How did you find/filter that way?

That pair is about a year and a half old. There were plenty of style options back then as well I'm just not very creative and my sense of style is iffy. ๐Ÿ˜

I had to search for it thru a search engine. You can search wide on the Vans site, but it pulls more irrelevant results.

The Vans site could use some improvement.. It's not easy to navigate thru all of the pages on their site. It's also impossible to find their Vault retailer list by navigating on their site now, and its formatting is screwed up.. They need to improve their site for sure.

I think the site has just been neglected a bit because most of their focus has been on the Vans Family app, which now has shopping available on it. Definitely worth enrolling in the Family (rewards) program btw.
