What does Steve Carroll and a duck have in common? They’ve both got massively wide feet. FitVille Golf Shoes are specifically designed for those of a bigger frame. Do they work?

I once did a shoe test for a very well-known manufacturer and stood on one of those devices that size you up to the millimetre.

I can tell you it was quite a shock. Not only had I spent 20-odd years wearing the wrong size (a 9.5 instead of an 8.5), I was stunned by the extreme width of my tootsies.

No wonder I’d been in agony breaking in a new pair on a golf course. No surprise that I’d been blistered and rubbed bare. I wasn’t just wide on the scale. I was extra wide.

This revelation revealed an ongoing issue. If you’re wondering how many manufacturers fully cater for the wider-footed you might be searching for a little bit.

This is where FitVille come in. “Liberate your toes” is scrawled on the front of the box. Comfort and support are at the top of their agenda. And coming in at around the £70 mark, they may well liberate some cash from your wallet. But are they worth the very reasonable price?
