Wide = D, so Extra-Wide = E+.
There is E, 2E, 3E, 4E, 5E, and 6E.
You may also see it written as E, EE, EEE, EEEE, EEEEE, EEEEEE.
Occasionally you will see Wide as "W" and Extra-Wide as "WW or WWW"....but this is less common.
My husband wears a 16 4E. His size is almost impossible to find in stores. We have had good luck ordering New Balance online in the extra-wide widths. Sometimes Casual Male Big&Tall will have a small selection of the extra-wide width shoes in-store. I hate their prices though. Once you find the right shoe for you, you might try locating it for a better price online or even on ebay. Hope this helps!
EW in shoe size stands for "extra wide." It indicates that the shoe is designed to accommodate feet that are wider than the standard width. Shoe sizes are typically represented by a letter for width, with EW being one of the options for those needing extra room in the toe box and midfoot area.
'D' and/or 'M' is the shoe size width measurement, and indicates a medium or standard width. Sometimes the shoe width size will be indicated with only a 'D' or 'M.' Furthermore, a 'C' width would be narrow width, an 'E' width indicates a wide width, and an 'EE' width would be extra-wide. If you're seeking detailed information on the exact width measurements, measured in inches, there should be some U.S. shoe size width charts available on the internet, found using the keywords, "US shoe size width chart."
The abbreviation EEEEE is used to describe an extra extra extra wide width shoe size. It is also used by smartphone users to send emojis that depict 5 smiley faces.

I am finding that most stores and shoe web-sites are not carrying wide width dress shoes for men and I can not believe it.
It indicates width of the shoe. B is standard width in ladies' shoes, D is wide.
The sizing difference between men's and women's shoes is about 1.5 sizes and two-widths . For example, a men's shoe in size 10 would equal a women's 11.5, while a women's shoe in size 8 would equal a men's size 6.5. Furthermore, with New Balance shoes for example, there is a difference between what is considered a women's medium width and a men's medium width. The men's medium or regular width is the "D width", a women's medium or regular width is the "B width". So a men's size "10 D" (D=medium for men) would be equal to a women's "11.5 B" or "11.5 Med" (because B=regular for women). Note: kids shoes are usually sized on the men's length-width scales regardless of whether it is a boys' or girls' style. Shoe widths are designated by a letter-code-scale: AAAAAA or 6A AAAAA or 5A AAAA or 4A AAA or 3A AA or 2A A B C D E EE or 2E EEE or 3E EEEE or 4E EEEEE or 5E EEEEEE or 6E New Balance makes every other width: for men: 2A: extra narrow B: narrow D: medium 2E: wide 4E: extra wide 6E: extra extra wide for women: 4A: extra narrow 2A: narrow B: medium D: wide 2E: extra wide 4E: extra extra wide for kids: N: narrow M: medium W: wide XW: extra wide
William Shakespere's actual shoe size is 61/2 inches. It was heard that he had very wide feet and needed extra width made for him.
"b" refers to the width. "e" being a wide shoe.
I work in a shoe department and was told by a Born representative that the M/W stands for medium width.
