Are larger sized shoes better made then smaller shoes? What I mean is, a person with a larger foot is likely to be heavier then someone with a small foot, so there’s more wear and tear on the shoe. Do manufacturers take this into consideration or do all shoes get the same stitching/glue/whatever?
13E & 14 D wearer - The answer is no re construction quality. Styles are scaled identically. While larger feet = more weight it’s also spread out across a greater surface area.
I wear a 13 EE, and I agree with astro. I have compared my shoes with the same model in a smaller size, and the materials and stitching seem to be the same.
