I got wide to double wide dogs as well. I like the specialized, they have a large toe box area, but I ended up getting some Nike Kato III. They have a wider last and after riding them for a month or so they fit the width pretty well. I do get some arch pain but I just tried some cheap little heel support inserts from Dr Scholls that also support your arch and I am liking the results. The Nikes that are lace up look pretty normal and I have walked into stores after rides and though I was still wearing them no kids came up to me trying to buy happy meals, which is a bonus.
