badminton shoes in america

Hi all, i'm looking to buy a pair of badminton shoes - from reading the posts seems like Adidas/Yonex are the way to go. My problem is that i have wide feet. So for example i can't wear Nike basketball shoes because they're too narrow. So i'd really like to try the shoes on before buying them. Does anyone know of any stores in America esp. San Jose and/or New York where i can go to find badminton shoes ?

thanks in advance

San Jose, try badmintonalley.com, they have a shop in Sunnyvale, the Hi-Tec Adrenalines are wide shoes.

thanks yogi. i already wear new balance because you're right - they're the only manufacturer i know that consistently make shoes in wide sizes across all their lines. but which of their shoes are good for badminton. i actually currently use their tennis shoes - the 693s. they aren't bad but don't really give me amazing feel on court.
