9 Women’s Brands Offer Trend-Driven Styles in Wide Widths

There are a range of reasons some women have wide feet — heredity, pregnancy, bunions and hammertoes, or simply from standing on your feet over years.  But, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some of the key seasonal footwear trends.

Increasingly, brands are ramping up their offering of wide width styles. While not every shoe you covet may come in a wide width, there are plenty to choose from. What gets even better, is these wide width styles are typically sold at the same cost as their medium width counterparts.

So, as we roll into summer, there’s no need to squeeze your feet into a pair of sandals or athleisure styles that are too tight when you can enjoy added wiggle room for your toes in shoes in more generous widths. And, wearing a style that accommodates your fuller foot will help prevent foot issues from occurring down the road.
