If you wear a men's size 14 or 15, you already know the pattern: most brands stop their size runs at 13, and the few styles that reach your size are often offered in one medium width. At XLfeet, sizes 14 and 15 are core sizes. Our men's size 14 collection and men's size 15 collection each hold hundreds of styles — work boots, athletic and walking shoes, dress shoes, sandals, slippers and socks. This guide covers how to measure, how width changes the fit at these sizes, and the styles that actually come in your size.
Measure First — Length and Width
Measure both feet late in the day, when they are at their largest: heel to longest toe for length, and straight across the widest part of the foot for width — ideally on a Brannock device, which most shoe stores let you use for free. At sizes 14 and 15, a half size of extra length is a poor substitute for the right width: sizing up for room gives you a shoe that is too long, which changes where it flexes and how it holds your heel. Buy your measured length, and get the room from the width.
Width Is the Multiplier
The width ladder runs D (medium), 2E (wide), 4E (extra wide), 6E and 8E at the widest end. The same marked width can feel different from one brand and style to another, so treat the letter as a starting point and check each product page for the widths that style actually offers. Our Shoe Sizes & Widths at XLfeet page lays out the full ladder, and our fit team will convert your measurements to the right size and width for a specific style if you call us at (651) 797-6000.
Styles That Actually Come in 14 and 15
For work: the Hoss Clash is a 9-inch waterproof work boot with a composite safety toe and 1,000g insulation, built in sizes that run well past 15 and in wide widths.
For work on your feet all day: the New Balance 626v2 is a slip-resistant industrial work shoe offered in sizes 14 and 15 in widths up to 6E.
For dress and casual: the Drew Shoe Park is a lace-up oxford that reaches sizes 14 and 15 — proof that extended sizes do not have to mean work boots.
For wet and winter: the Bogs Rancher is a waterproof pull-on boot built in sizes up to 18, including 14 and 15.
Brands That Build Your Size
The brands that consistently build sizes 14 and 15 in real widths — the ones stocked across both collections — include Avenger, Bogs, Carolina, Drew, Dunham, Hoss, New Balance work styles, and Wide Load. If a style you like stops at 13 in a regular store, check the same brand here before giving up on it.
