Do’s and Don’t’s for Wide Feet

• Flat Shoes – Flat shoes are comfortable and flattering; they spread the weight of your body evenly across the feet, reducing pressure at pressure points. There are many flat shoe styles available in wide-width sizes.
• Heels – High heels, particularly narrow and pointy, are unhealthy and cause long-term damage and an increased risk of injury in any foot type. A high heel will increase pressure in the widest area of your foot with wider feet, resulting in swelling and other foot conditions. A low heel or chunky heel is acceptable and will not cause any harm.
• Pointed and Narrow Toes – Stay away from a narrow or pointed toe, particularly with wide feet, as they squeeze your toes together, causing foot conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, and other deformities, along with discomfort.^[1] Settle for a round or wider toe box.
• Sandals – Sandals and Flip flops are a great option for a wider foot. Many sandals and flip-flops are available in wide-width sizes with many other comfort and style features. Sandals and flip-flops allow your feet much more room for movement and are still flattering and feminine. Avoid sandals with too many straps as they can be constricting and uncomfortable for wider feet.
• The Shoe material – With a wide foot, it is advisable to opt for shoes made from soft and flexible leathers and materials that will not confine and hurt your feet but rather stretch and mold your foot shape with time.
• Style – Do not worry about the shoe style; there are so many options of wide-width shoes to choose from online and from local retailers that you are guaranteed to find exactly what you are looking for in a shoe.

Features of a Good Shoe for Wider Feet

• Width and Depth – A good wide-width shoe should also have an extra depth which is a great advantage.^[2]
• Roomy Toe Box – A roomy toe box and round or square toe will ensure that you have enough space for movement.
• Options – Wide Width Shoes are available in options of medium, wide, and extra-wide widths, so make sure that you pick the correct width for your feet that fits comfortably.
• Support and Cushioning – Good arch support and cushioning are beneficial, particularly if you have flat feet, which are common in women with wide feet.^[3]
