Thousands are sizing up for wide feet
6 reasons people with wide feet are done sizing up
A bigger size is longer, not wider
Going up half a size adds length at your toes and heel. The widest part of the shoe, across the ball of your foot, barely changes. So it still squeezes, and by mid-afternoon your toes are jammed at the front. A width fitting does the opposite: room across the widest part, at your normal length.
“The reality was that the other shoes were too narrow – not too short!”
Your heel stops slipping when you go back to your real size
The extra length you bought sits behind your heel. So it lifts out with every step, your socks rub down, and even laces pulled tight don’t hold your foot in place. Buy your normal length in your width, and the back of the shoe sits where your heel is.
“Selecting 6.5 doesn't help as the sizing up means the heel doesn't hold in the shoe anymore. I have ordered my normal size but with a 2EE width and the sizing is finally perfect.”
No more trainers that look two sizes too big
Every half size you go up adds length you can see. Your trainers look too big because they are, and you notice it every time you look down. In your width they’re the length your feet actually are, so they look like everyone else’s.
“I've always had to get shoes a size or two bigger than the actual length – all just to get something of the right width… What a relief to have trainers that fit on the width and aren't so long that they look like clown shoes!”
Your width has a number, and it’s quick to find
Length and width are measured separately, and most shoes only come in one width: standard (D). Keep your normal size and choose your width:
- Standard (D)
- what most shoes come in
- 2E
- wide
- 4E
- extra wide
- 6E · 8E
- for the widest feet
“My wide fit trainers fit perfectly, reducing my shoe size.”
The brands you already wear, in genuine wide fittings
Sizing up keeps you stuck with whatever happens to feel roomy. Wide Fit Shoes stocks New Balance, Skechers, Nike and adidas in the brands’ own wide fittings, not a standard shoe with a wide label. The styles you’d pick anyway, and nothing that looks orthopaedic.
“I love the New Balance wide trainers, they are so comfortable! Wide Fit Shoes seems to be the only place where I can find branded wide fit trainers.”
Try your width at home. If it’s wrong, swap it for free
Not sure between 2E and 4E? Order your normal size in the width that looks right. If it doesn’t fit, exchanging it for another width is free, and you have 30 days to send them back (returns cost about £3).
