Hi - I'm looking for a decent light hiking shoe that provides good traction, wet rock surfaces etc. I need a 4E width. Any recommendations?

The question here is fit. European shoes tend to have narrower heels. That seems odd at first blush since many Americans are European decent. None the less I have wide feet and I like vasque as opposed to solomon and solomon is a great shoe. Look for a rigid foot bed padded tongue and rubber welt coming up in front of the toes for water and toe protection. REI is a good place to shop. Expect to pay about $100. Quality here is no place to skimp.

Check out this website. They specialize in long & wide footware:
