The best running shoes have up-to-date technologies.
Larger athletes with big feet sometimes have a more difficult time finding proper footwear that offers them comfort and durability. However, some of the more well-known shoe brands, such as Adidas and Nike, offer running shoes that fit this criteria. Shoes from these two companies, as well as Asics and New Balance provide footwear for men with foot sizes 17 and 18. The best shoes from footwear companies feature heel technologies for more support and flexibility.
Adidas Supernova Sequence 2.0
The German-based Adidas sportswear company produces the Supernova Sequence series, a line that offers up to size 12 for men. This shoe has Adidas' Formotion heel technology, a feature that adjusts the shoe's padding based on the running surface. The inside of the shoe has a non-slip lining, providing extra comfort for the wearer. The shoe's sole is made of rubber, which is designed for additional cushion and traction. These shoes are better suited for running on even surfaces, such as roads and sidewalks.
New Balance MR1226
The New Balance shoe company, based in Boston, Massachusetts, features the MR1226 model, a running shoe with sizes up 16 for men. This shoe also offers a width up to 4E. The MR1226 shoe model has New Balance's N-ergy technology, which offers more cushioning and shock absorption. The shoe's rubber sole is light, flexible and offers more cushioning as well. The middle of the shoe features the "Stability Web," a New Balance technology that gives more support in the wearer's arch region. The implementation of Stability Web also makes the shoe lighter.

Asics is a shoe company headquartered in Japan and features its GEL-Evolution 5 model. This running shoe line offers shoes for men who wear a size 17. Width size options include sizes D and 4E. This shoe has the Impact Guidance System, an Asics technology that adjusts the absorption of impact based on the wearer's natural walking motion. The GEL-Evolution 5 also has the Biomorphic Fit Upper technology, which is a stretch material on the upper part of the shoe.
