| Wide Woman Shoes Help Accommodate Wide, Swollen Feet |
| |
| If you have wide-width feet, finding shoes that fit comfortably can be a difficult challenge. Wide woman shoes, or shoes made specifically to accommodate a woman’s wide and/or swollen feet, can provide you with miles of comfort, and are available for purchase at FootSmart. |

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

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