I've got lots of N9000's and I'm a UK9. Never felt the need to go for a different size.
Where do you get them from. Don’t really want to pay the £240 they are asking. https://noirfonce.eu/products/diadora-n9000-rally-...
Thank you for the link much appreciated.

Yeah. 43 is what you needed. Here's one of my boxes:-

574's are very wide. N9000's aren't quite as wide. But I've got proper wide feet and have no issues with N9000's. Wouldn't have so many pairs of them if I did. Not exactly scientific but hope that helps.
Thanks good to know as I've never owned Diadora and have a wider than average feet..574 being one of the few models of NB that works for me and some of the Asics sportstyle range.TheJimi said:

When you look at Nike's OG Waffle Racer silhouette, it's easy to see NB's inspiration for those - One thing with the new balance they are fking lethal on wet floors. Ice skate like traction has done for me more than once.

Why is ebay too risky?
You can't sell them on StockX if you've worn them - unless they would pass as deadstock condition. GOAT is another option if you're trying to sell used.
There are also Facebook groups to buy / sell shoes.

I just hear too many stories of buyers making up ridiculous reasons and demanding refunds, and ebay and PayPal just siding instantly with the buyer. I always think (rightly or wrongly) that Vinted and FB Market place are equal cess pits
"are these still for sale?"
"Yes"
"Will you take 20% of the price?"
"no thanks"
Didn't know StockX don't take used. Good to know.
I hadn't heard of GOAT, so I'll give them a look. Thanks

What shoe is it?talk about dangling the carrot
Air Max 97 Ultra 2017 UK11918356-003
They've still got the scrunched up paper jammed in them!
They would probably pass that "new old stock" thing. But fact is I wore them to walk to the shops to try them out for about 15 mins. There was a couple bits of dirt which wiped off easily with a damp bit of kitchen roll. In an ideal world I want the buyer to turn up. See them in the box, say "Ok, I'll have them" give me the cash and ps off never to be seen again.
Probably too much to ask. Going to get a trillion messers wanting to try them on first or whatever. Or try and knock me down 50% in person, or not even turn up when they say they will!

I beg to differ, I find 574s quite narrow for my wide feet. VR99 said:

In fairness, I have feet like a Chimpanzee.
I don't judge Interested to know what trainers work for you for width-wise?
I don't know if my feet expanded during COVID (WFH best part of 2 years) but even 574's are causing me grief with rubbing/abrasion...have ended up buying running shoes but not for running!

Cheers and in the spirit of sharing, here are my wide-foot friendly in no particular order:Stan Smiths a half size up
Gola Harrier
Puma Liga
Saucony Jazz
Diadora Camaro
K-Swiss Court
Some Aisics stability runners that I forget the name of
NB 574 albeit half a size up compared to other brands and as mentioned earlier widths seem inconsistent
Mizuno GV87 (run slightly long by half a size)
Adidas Pureboost( the original models, have a couple of variants albeit all are discontinued now)
Adidas ZX 5k boost (very heavy though, wouldn't walk about in these)
Adidas Ultraboost ST (original model)
ASICS Kayano 14
ASICS Sportstyle or Venture range (Gel lytes far too narrow)
Nike winflow 3 or 4 and old skool lunar glides
Saucony Jazz OG
I won't include running shoes but Brooks, Asics and Mizuno seem to work well and NB in wide widths
@ The Jimi - Agreed and less bothered about sleek trainers now so bulbous toeboxes are fine if comfy/accommodating
