Having wide feet can often be a challenge when it comes to finding comfortable and stylish shoes. Many individuals with wide feet struggle to find the right fit, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and even foot problems. However, with a little knowledge and guidance, it's possible to discover the perfect pair of shoes that accommodate wide feet without compromising on style or comfort.

Purchase the right design and style

It might sound simple, but finding comfortable footwear with good support is often overlooked when we go shopping for a new pair of shoes. For example, when it comes to walking, you want to ensure that they’re made of breathable materials, such as leather or mesh. You also want to ensure that the shoes have a good cushion around your feet, while being supportive. If required, you can add extra comfort, support and cater to foot conditions with our Aetrex orthotics.

It’s also equally important to pay attention to the inside of the shoes to ensure there are no rough edges or edges that could cause irritation while walking, especially if you suffer from diabetes, peripheral neuropathy and osteoarthritis.
