Women's Extra Wide Shoes: How to Find the Right Fit for Wide Feet

Extra Depth for High-Volume Feet

Width is measured from side to side, but some women need additional space vertically as well.

If your foot feels tight across the top, you may have a higher instep or greater overall foot volume.

In this situation, look for extra-depth shoes with a roomier interior.

Useful features include:

• Extra interior depth
• Stretchable uppers
• Adjustable laces or straps
• Removable insoles
• Higher-volume construction

A shoe with both extra width and extra depth can provide a better fit than a shoe that is simply wider.

Women's Extra Wide Shoes for Swollen Feet

Foot volume can change throughout the day, particularly after extended periods of walking or standing.

If your feet tend to become swollen, an adjustable shoe can offer greater flexibility.

Look for features such as:

• Extra-wide sizing
• Adjustable straps
• Flexible uppers
• Stretch materials
• Extra depth
• Removable insoles
• A roomy toe box
