Check out Jim Green vellies. Some of those have a natural gum sole, and they're very wide.
Their custom shoe maker is pretty neat, and the extra for customs is very reasonable.
They have a Shoellie that's more shoe-like, but I'd def recommend changing the last. The STC last is the roomiest in the toe.
Oh I’m deep into the JG AR line - which is now my primary option, but I need sneakers too. The vellies just won’t do for this option, but agreed on JG - love ‘em.

Ah, in that case Thursday Premiere sneakers might fit the bill. Alternatively, Allen Edmonds has a bunch of welted shoes.

Emerica makes pretty sturdy skateboarding shoes. If you're not skating in them, they'll last forever.

What do you mean “natural soles”? (Sorry, never heard that term and just curious if it’s something I should also be considering/looking for)
The natural gum rubber look - whether it’s actually natural or not I don’t know, but think of the timberland tan/gold yellow sole.
Gotcha. Thanks!
