| Large Size Women’s Shoes Help Accommodate Wide, Swollen Feet |
| |

| What to Look for When Buying Large Size Women’s Shoes |
| |
Large size women’s shoes – for women with edema (swelling), diabetes or wide-width feet – should be quite roomy. Oxfords, for example, are good large size women’s shoes that – with their added depth feature – can accommodate even the fifth toe. If you’re suffering from bunions, look for large size women’s shoes with spandex stretch uppers. Adjustable large size women’s shoes, like those with Velcro®, can be a great way to fit problem feet.
Women shopping for large size women’s shoes should also be on the lookout for the following characteristics:
- Large size women’s shoes with a firm heel counter provide good support for wide-width feet.
- Large size women’s shoes need to have a wide enough toe box to accommodate toes without pinching them.
- Large size women’s shoes with a semi-rigid or rigid shank offer good stability.
- Large size women’s shoes that have a removable inner sole are great for wide-width feet, as you can take the sole in or out as needed.
- Large size women’s shoes with a long vamp provide good arch support.
- No high heels! Women who need large size women’s shoes should wear a heel measuring between ¾ - 1½ inches.

| What to Look for When Buying Large Size Women’s Shoes |

1. If you need large size women’s shoes, never go out to buy new them first thing in the morning. The feet swell as the day goes on, and your large size women’s shoes need to accommodate this added size.
2. Always break in new large size women’s shoes at home on carpeting.
3. Do not expect large size women’s shoes to stretch. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it. Remember that your large size women’s shoes should have a thumb-length space at the toe end of the shoe beyond the longest toe.
