Wide Shoes Buying Guide

Shopping for shoes can be overwhelming, especially if you happen to have wide feet. Finding comfortable shoes that fit well can be a challenge. Wearing shoes that are too tight can cause a lot of stress on your feet, leading to foot problems like corns, bruised nails, and calluses. In this guide, we’ll share some tips and tricks for buying shoes that fit well and comfortably.

How to measure your feet

Before you start browsing for shoes, it is essential to measure your feet. Feet can change in size and shape over time, even in adulthood. A size that fit you a few years ago may no longer be a perfect fit. There are several ways to measure your feet right at home.

  • Use a ruler - Measure the length of your feet from the tip of your longest toe to the end of your heel.
  • Trace your feet - Place a piece of paper on the floor and step on it. Outline your feet with a pencil. Then measure the length and width of the tracing.
  • Use a foot measuring device - You can buy a foot measuring device that’s specifically designed to measure your feet.

It’s worth noting that our feet are not always the same size. When buying shoes, you’ll want to buy for the larger foot.

What to look for in a wide shoe

Buying shoes that fit comfortably is critical, especially for people with wide feet. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for wide shoes.

Size

The size of a shoe is the most important factor when it comes to comfort. When trying on wide shoes, leave enough space between the end of your longest toe and the shoe to allow room for a natural bend in your foot. Also, make sure the heel of the shoe sits comfortably against your heel, without rubbing or slipping.

Width

The size of your foot is not the only thing to consider when buying shoes. Width is equally important. Some manufacturers label shoes as “wide,” but there isn’t a standard width for wide shoes. It’s essential to try on shoes and see how they fit before purchasing. Shoes that are too tight can cause pain and foot problems like calluses, while shoes that are too loose can cause blisters and other issues.

You can test the width of a shoe by pressing with your thumb on the widest part of the shoe. If the shoe bends at the ball of the foot when you apply pressure, it might be too narrow for you. A shoe that is too wide will not provide adequate support for your foot.

Arch Support

Shoes with appropriate arch support can help reduce foot fatigue, heel pain, and other foot problems. A well-designed arch support system cradles your foot, evenly distributing your body weight across your feet.

If you have flat feet, consider shoes with good arch support. On the other hand, if you have high arches, look for shoes with a cushioned sole that offers shock absorption.

Material

The material of a shoe can affect how it feels and fits. Many wide-shoe manufacturers use synthetic materials to create shoes that are both lightweight and durable. However, not all synthetic materials are created equal.

One of the most widely used synthetic materials is polyester. While polyester is lightweight and durable, it doesn't breathe well, which can lead to sweaty feet. Look for shoes made from synthetic materials like nylon, which is lightweight, breathable and offers excellent durability.

Leather is another popular material for shoes. Leather shoes offer excellent durability, breathability, and flexibility. They are also more expensive than shoes made from synthetic materials, so keep an eye on your budget.

Where to find wide shoes

There are several options for finding shoes in wider sizes. If you’re shopping in person, look for shoe stores that specialize in wide sizes. Another option is to shop online. Many retailers, including Amazon, offer a wide selection of shoes in various sizes and widths.

Specialty Stores

Specialty stores cater to customers with larger or wider shoe sizes. Some stores specialize in shoes for people with medical conditions like plantar fasciitis or diabetes. These stores usually have knowledgeable staff who can help you find the right shoe for your specific needs.

Department Stores

Many department stores carry wide sizes. However, the selection may not be as extensive as specialty stores. Department stores may also lack staff with specialized knowledge in fitting shoes for people with wider feet.

Online retailers

Shopping online can be a great option for finding shoes in wider sizes. Online retailers often have a more extensive selection of sizes and styles. They also usually have customer reviews that can provide insight into the fit and comfort of the shoes.

When buying shoes online, it’s essential to understand the retailer’s return policy. It’s also a good idea to measure your feet before making a purchase.

Caring for your wide shoes

Caring for your shoes can help prolong their lifespan and keep them looking and feeling great.

Protect your shoes from water and moisture

Water and moisture can damage your shoes, and they’re especially damaging to leather. Be sure to keep your shoes dry and avoid wearing them in wet conditions whenever possible. If your shoes do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat.

Clean your shoes regularly

Regular cleaning can help keep your shoes looking great. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris, and spot clean stains with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps, which can damage the material of your shoes. If your shoes are made from leather, use a leather conditioner to keep them supple and moisturized.

Rotate your shoes

Wearing the same pair of shoes every day can cause wear and tear. It’s a good idea to rotate your shoes so that each pair has time to rest and recover. This can also help prolong the lifespan of your shoes.

Store your shoes properly

Proper storage can help keep your shoes looking new for longer. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading and damage to the material of the shoes. You can also use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of your shoes while they’re being stored.

Conclusion

Buying shoes that fit well and comfortably can be a challenge for people with wider feet. When shopping for shoes, be sure to measure your feet, consider factors like size, width, arch support, and materials, and shop at stores that offer a wide selection of sizes. Caring for your shoes appropriately can help prolong their lifespan and keep them looking and feeling great for years to come.
