Comfort Shoes for Big Feet
Space should be your number one search criteria when shopping for shoes to fit big feet. Shoes, like added-depth oxfords, are quite roomy and can easily accommodate those with wide or big feet.
Finding the Right Shoes to Fit Big Feet
First: Are you someone who just has wide or big feet, or are your big feet due to problems such as swelling, diabetes, or bunions?
Now here is a list of guidelines and special features to look for when purchasing shoes to fit your big feet:
- If you need shoes to fit big feet, never go out to buy them first thing in the morning. The feet swell as the day goes on, and your shoes need to accommodate this added size.
- Wide-width shoes should have a firm heel counter to provide good support for big feet.
- Shoes made to fit swollen or big feet should have a wide enough toe box to accommodate toes without pinching them.
- Shoes made to fit swollen or big feet should have a semi-rigid or rigid shank, which offers good stability for big feet.
- Do not expect shoes to stretch to fit big feet. If your new pair of shoes does not fit your big feet, do not wear them. Remember that your shoes should have a thumb-length space at the toe end of the shoe beyond the longest toe.
- Shoes made to fit swollen or big feet should have a removable inner sole, so you can take the sole in or out as needed.
- Shoes made to fit swollen or big feet should have a long vamp, which provides good arch support for big feet.
- No high heels! Ladies, if you have big feet, you should be wearing a heel that measures between ¾ - 1½ inches, and no more.
- Always break in shoes at home on carpeting – and that goes for all shoes, not just shoes for big feet.
