Wide Width Women’s Shoes Help Accommodate Wide, Swollen Feet |
| |

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

| Tips for Buying New Wide Woman Shoes |
| |
1. If you need wide width 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 wide width women’s shoes need to accommodate this added size.
2. Always break in new wide width women’s shoes at home on carpeting.
3. Do not expect wide width women’s shoes to stretch. If the shoe does not fit, do not wear it. Remember that your wide width women’s shoes should have a thumb-length space at the toe end of the shoe beyond the longest toe.
