wide shoes for women

Wider feet, higher insteps, fuller feet, difficult feet – there are all kinds of feet that may benefit from shoes offering just that bit of extra space. That’s why Wolky has a collection of extra wide shoes. But what exactly does ‘extra wide’ mean? We’re happy to explain everything, so you can be sure whether your feet would benefit from extra wide shoes, or if one of our other ‘specials’ might suit you better.

Do you need wide fit shoes?

It can sometimes be tricky to determine what type of shoe you need. To figure this out, you first need to know your own feet well. The simplest way to find out if you need wide fit shoes is to ask yourself whether shoes often feel tight across the instep, or if you frequently struggle with getting shoes on or off. Or perhaps after a day of walking or in warm temperatures, you notice your shoes start to pinch. These are all signs that the shoes you’re wearing may be too tight for your feet. If you also find that your shoes feel tight lengthwise, you can often solve this by going up a size. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, it could indicate that your feet need a bit more room. The following types of feet often benefit from extra space: fuller feet, feet with a high instep, wider feet, and feet that tend to swell. Do you recognise your feet in this description? Then read on to discover everything about Wolky’s extra wide fit shoes!

Wide fit shoes: sizing is important

When buying shoes, it’s not only the length that matters – width is important too, especially if you have fuller feet. The width of a shoe determines how well it fits the width of your foot. Every woman has a different foot width, and a well-fitting shoe can make all the difference between comfort and discomfort. At Wolky, you’ll find details about shoe width on the fit information page for each shoe on the website. However, it’s not always easy to categorise a shoe within a particular width size. Features like laces can greatly affect how a shoe fits. When considering shoe width, it’s important to also look at factors that can alter a shoe’s fit. Unfortunately, width sizes alone don’t always provide the perfect solution. Wide fit shoes can be comfortable for your feet, but adjustable shoes are also very useful for women with wide feet and/or high insteps.

Wide fit shoes vs regular fit shoes

It sounds great – extra wide shoes. But what exactly is the difference from the regular version? The wide shoes offered by Wolky have more volume. This means more material is used in the upper, giving extra space inside the shoe. This extra room is most noticeable in the middle of the foot, where feet tend to be fullest. The last used to make these shoes is fuller, and since the shoe is built around the last, the shoe itself is fuller too. On this page, you can find more tips for wider feet.

different types of wide shoes

In Wolky’s wide-shoe collection, there’s something for everyone. We have a large number of stylish lace-up boots. For example, the tough Center XW, available in a range of seasonal colours. Or take a look at the Murray XW. This refined biker boot features laces that wrap around the ankle but can still be easily opened and closed with a zip. A real favourite! More interested in lower lace-up shoes? Check out the Kansas XW. Available in lots of vibrant colours for both summer and winter. Looking for a sandal with extra space? Check out the Nomad! This retro-style sandal naturally has a wider footbed and offers space for fuller feet. Ideal!

wide fitting shoes vs broad shoes

We’re often asked at Wolky if we offer width sizes, and the answer is both short and long. The short version is: No, we don’t offer width sizes. The long version offers more detail. At Wolky, we believe that every foot is different, and the width of the sole alone doesn’t determine the space your foot needs. The shape of the shoe also influences how much room your feet have. What’s more, width sizing can be very precise, down to the millimetre, and can even vary by length size. It can cause confusion. So instead, we prefer to offer wide fitting shoes in our collection. These wide fitting shoes don’t have a broader sole, but they do have more volume inside the shoe.

However, there are some Wolky shoes that naturally have a broader sole or wider footbed. For example, the Tarda XW-WR and the Kansas Lady XW are known for their roomier toe box. Your feet get the space they deserve with a pair of these comfortable wide fitting shoes! Do you need more information about a shoe’s fit? Don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team. Our staff are knowledgeable and can assist you over the phone in finding the best-fitting pair of shoes for you.

High instep shoes

A high instep (also known as a high arch) can make finding comfortable shoes a real challenge. A higher instep can create painful pressure points when wearing shoes. And since we often wear shoes all day, this can become very uncomfortable! But don’t worry – Wolky has a solution. Our XW collection includes high instep shoes. These XW shoes have extra room at the top of the foot, making them much more comfortable for your feet. You know what else is useful in high instep shoes? Adjustable closures. Shoes with laces can easily be adjusted to the height of your instep. This flexibility ensures that shoes won’t feel too tight. Our high instep shoes are perfect for women who need just that little bit of extra room. Find your favourite pair on our website!

fashionable wide fitting shoes

In the past, women’s wide fit shoes were often associated with practicality rather than style. However, in recent years, many fashion brands have recognized the demand for fashionable wide fitting shoes, resulting in a wide range of stylish options for women with wider feet. From heels to flats, trainers to sandals, fashionable wide fitting shoes come in various styles that cater to different tastes and preferences. This way, there’s something for every woman! At Wolky, we often offer wide fit versions of our most popular shoes, so we can ensure that you don’t have to compromise on style for comfort.

Wide fit leather shoes

wide fit black shoes

Looking at versatility and practicality, wide fit black shoes are an essential item in anyone’s wardrobe. For people with wider feet, finding shoes that provide comfort without compromising on style can be quite a challenge. Wide fit black shoes offer an excellent solution, combining roomier fits with elegant designs to ensure comfort throughout the day. Wide fit black shoes are great because of their ability to complement any outfit. Whether you’re dressing for a business meeting, a night out, or a causal weekend, with the right pair of wide fit black shoes you’re good to go! No need to hand in on comfort for style, when the two can go hand in hand. For casual wear, trainers or loafers are a great option for wide fit black shoes. They provide a relaxed yet stylish look, allowing your feet to breathe and remain comfortable throughout the day.

Wide fit heeled shoes

Finding the perfect pair of heels can be challenging for people with wide feet. Often, ‘normal’ heeled shoes can feel tight and restrictive, leading to discomfort and even pain after a few hours (or even minutes) of wear. Wide fit heeled shoes are designed to address these issues by offering more space in the toe box and a more comfortable fit across the entire foot. At Wolky, we have many wide fit heeled shoes in our collection. That’s because we love a good pair of boots! Check out this Red Deer XW. This cool biker boot is extra spacious. These wide fit low heel shoes are super comfortable. The soft and supple leather ensures optimal comfort. Another favourite among our wide fit heeled shoes? The Center XW. With memory foam, quality leather, and a flexible sole, you can walk in this wide fit heeled shoe all day long!

Wide fit flat shoes

We get it if you’re not a fan of heels. And if you’re actively trying to avoid them altogether, than wide fit flat shoes are a fantastic option. These shoes offer both style and comfort, making them perfect for everyday wear. Wide fit flat shoes ensure that your feet remain comfortable all day long. Wide fit flat shoes come in a wide variety of styles, from ballet flats to loafers and sandals. Wide fit flat shoes provide a more spacious fit, allowing your feet to sit comfortably without feeling cramped. The Jasper is a good wide fit flat shoe. This adjustable sandal is sturdy and comfortable at the same time.

Wide fit walking shoes

Walking shoes are designed to offer maximum comfort and support. Because let’s be honest, with a good pair of walking shoes, your hike instantly becomes more fun. If you spend a lot of time on your feet, wide fit walking shoes are a must-have. Finding wide fit walking shoes that don’t feel tight or restrictive is crucial. Wide fit walking shoes provide the extra space necessary to accommodate wider feet, ensuring that you can walk for miles without discomfort.

One of the most important features of wide fit walking shoes is their enhanced support and cushioning. These shoes are typically designed with arch support and padded insoles, helping to reduce the strain on your feet and prevent pain. Additionally, our wide fit walking shoes are made of high quality leather, which means you can wear your shoes for a very long time!
