Do you know what the numerical identification 2E and 4E means, which usually accompany the names of many models of running shoes? Correct answer, if you have associated it with the section on the widths of the last of the models! Because yes, these numbers are used to identify the width of sizes, and thus know if the option you are looking for to put on and go running is for narrow feet or for wide feet.

running shoes for wide feet: What are the 2E and 4E references?

Remember that one of the things that we always tell you at RUNNEA is that your ideal running shoe is the one that fits your needs and your running profile. That is why these references - 2E and 4E, for example - are more relevant than they seem at first glance. So, to begin to make the criteria clear:

  • 2E means wide last and 4E is extra wide last for men's models.
  • For the women's version, the width is marked by the letter D; and the extra wide is the 2E.

Which runner profile are the wide last models aimed at?

In this category of wide last running shoes, the cases are quite clear, and two options can be established, which contemplate the needs of the runner on foot, such as:

  • Runners who have a larger than usual foot width. If it has happened to you that when you tried on a running shoe it was too tight, and you have been forced to add one more size to avoid that annoying feeling, this may be your case.
  • Runners who require customized insoles to run safely.
