Need Help with Wide Shoes.

Anyone out there with wide shoe suggestions? I wear a 7EE and am looking for a pair of MTB/Touring/Casual cycling shoes. Can still squeeze into my old Schwinn road/cleated shoes but want something more everyday that I can wear normal, thicker socks with for winter. I use old school quill pedals and straps on my geezer/winter bike.
Thanks!

I have 11 EEE feet. Try Lake shoes. They make regular and wide width shoes.

I wear EE. Try Keen. Also work boots are usually wide. Rockports used to have a nice wide Pro-Walker but I think they stopped it coz so many dudes these days have ballerina feet.

As to the Lakes, t'would be nice to try them on first. I have a pair or the wide MTB/touring shoes that could stand to be a bit wider. I ordered them online which I don't normally do with things that I wear.

Lake or Diadora- Lake sells wide sizes, Diadors run wide, fit my E width perfectly.

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. I ended up with a pair of Pearl Izumi "X-Alp Seek" shoes, they fit pretty well, just a tad long but room for warm/thick socks. Got size 42, on sale from REI.
