    For reasons that resemble God's peace (they surpases all
    understanding) I am in training for a marathon next year (I can do a
    solid few mile walk now). It will be as a penguin (if only because
    they get the cool outfits, I like formal ware) but that does not make
    it easy. Anyway, here is my question, I have wide somewhat flat feet.
    I figure for my first training shoes I should go to a store that has
    knowledgeable people. Any suggestions in the NYC area? Absent that,
    other than New Balance, what shoes should I look at?

    I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun.

    Well, the OP did ask for "suggestions in the NYC area", so Lance
    qualifies.

    Matt: the Super Runner's Shop mini-chain is most often cited as the
    best in the city. I've never been, but have had pretty good
    experiences at both Urban Athletics in the WFC and Quantum Feet in
    Queens.

    Near my house. Great.

    I was just at the WFC yesterday. Saw/heard Richard Thompson give an
    all acoustic concert. Amazing, just amazing. I watched the fingers and
    still have no idea how he got those sounds.

    Anyway, thanks for those suggestions.

    Urban Athletics, 1291 Madison (near 92nd and Madison).

    Most brands make wide fit shoes in at least some of their models.

    They've got a good range of gear there, but IMO the staff at Urban
    Athletics are much better.
