Those of us with a solid foundation (i.e. a wide foot) deserve fashionable shoes just as much as those with petite feet. Having a wide foot should not inhibit your shoe shopping experience, as most companies have realized that wide shoes are extremely profitable due to the high numbers of Americans with larger, wider feet. Now shoes for men and women, including flats, boots, heels, and sandals, are all available in wide widths to keep your feet cute and comfortable.

How to Know if Your Feet are Wide

The first indication of wide feet is a pinching feeling on the sides of your feet when wearing standard shoe sizes, or feeling like your feet are spilling over the edges of the shoe's sole. Typically, all shoes are standard unless otherwise indicated. Standard sizes are marked with a B in women's shoes and a D in men's shoes, and wide widths are marked with a general W, or more specific D for women and EE for men. When standing or walking your shoes should feel comfortable and secure, so have a store clerk measure your foot for the best fit.

Where to Shop

No matter your budget or your level of fashion consciousness, shopping for wide width shoes is extremely easy. If the ability to try on your shoes before purchase is a priority, Wal-Mart and Payless are popular stores that carry a multitude of wide shoes, usually in more casual styles, and are both kind to your wallet. Many department stores will also carry wides, and in work-appropriate styles, but Sears and J.C. Penny tend to carry more styles with a wide width. If you are looking for fashionable knee-high boots, be aware that wide width does not always constitute a wide calf and make sure the description clearly indicates a wider calf if ordering online. Online shopping is fast, easy, and most sites, like Zappos.com, allow you to search for products by style, size, and width, producing ideal shoes in a matter of seconds. For those with wide feet, your perfect shoe is out there, and you don't have to sacrifice style or comfort to get it!
