The 17 Best Wide-Width Shoes for Women That Are Insanely Comfortable, According to Shopper Reviews

Featuring a deep heel cup, raised toe bar, supportive arches, and a contoured footbed that mimics the shape of a foot, these asymmetrical strap sandals are as chic as they are comfortable. Plus, they have a sleeker profile than the classic Arizona Birkenstock, which makes them more wearable with dresses, jeans, and leggings.

Promising Review: “I've tried a few incarnations of Birkenstock over the years, and these are my favorites. I have quite wide feet in the forefront/toe area and a steep top arch to my foot, and these accommodate both beautifully. The design of this one is also very flattering—something about the mid-cross strap offsets what is often a bit clunky looking in other Birkenstocks.” 

"I like Vionic [shoes] because a podiatrist created the company," New York City-based podiatrist Hilary Brenner previously told Health. "No one knows the foot’s biomechanics better than a podiatrist." The contoured, cushy footbeds on these sandals provide arch support, while the signature Orthaheel technology located in the removable insole offers balance, stability, and biomechanical support. This cute style comes in two colors and medium and wide widths and has the American Podiatric Medical Association seal of acceptance to boot. 

Promising Review: “These shoes are so cute [and] comfortable and the arch support is the best. I have been looking for the perfect ballet flats and these are it.” 

If you can't do heels, these comfy wedges have a wider fit and a cushioned footbed, but they still look chic enough for an outdoor wedding.

These feminine shoes may appear flimsy, but the French-inspired d'Orsay flats are built for serious comfort with a wider fit, contoured footbed, dual-density cushioning, and quick-drying lining to keep your feet cool and dry. 

Promising Review: “I currently have three pairs of the Samantha shoe, and I love each and every pair… because it wraps around my foot in a very flattering way; my feet are shaped differently, such that the d’Orsay style doesn’t often fit properly. The Samantha, on the other hand, provides complete coverage and is super cute to boot.”

Slip them on with jeans for weekend brunch or with a dress to the office—these effortlessly chic loafers will get you all the compliments.

With over 500 five-star reviews and a 4.6-star rating on Nordstrom, these sophisticated leather sneakers have a super comfortable insole, which can be removed and replaced with a custom one, and a wide fit to accommodate those who need more toe spread.

Promising Review: “After multiple foot surgeries and custom orthotics, buying shoes became difficult. I own these Ecco sneakers in multiple colors. [They’re] cute, comfortable and easy to customize to my orthotics.”

Designed to improve natural foot positioning, walking form, toe splay, and comfort, these running shoes are famous for their wide toe box that allows your toes to relax and spread out naturally; the big toe remains in a straight position for comfort, speed, and stability.

Promising Review: “I bought a pair of Escalante 2.5s on recommendation from my physical therapist after I started working on my chronic knee pain. I had spent many years running in Vibrams and was concerned about switching back to 'standard' shoes. The Escalantes are amazingly comfy, though. The zero-drop insole feels like a natural transition, and the broader toe box is a tremendous relief on my wide feet.”

These sneakers have a patented Fresh Foam sole that delivers cushioning and stability, while the breathable mesh upper adds comfort. Available in medium and wide widths, the shoe’s strategic curved design promotes proper alignment during every stride, making them perfect for a variety of workouts—though their sleek, fashion-forward silhouette pairs just as well with denim as it does with leggings.

Promising Review: “It can be hard to find a wide width that fits well. Often, the shoes are not truly wide width, or they're way too big in the toe box. These fit me better than any I've tried so far, and they look really nice. I'm glad I found them.”

The molded Ortholite footbed, internal heel counter, cushioned midsole, and propulsion-promoting Meta-Rocker in these Hoka sneakers help to guarantee a comfortable, smooth ride whether you're jogging or training for a marathon. Also great? The mesh uppers offer extra breathability to keep your feet cool and dry.

Promising Review: “I love the cushy sole of the Bondi 7 and the fact the toe box is wider than the previous model. My feet size is 6.5, have very high arches and wide feet. I ordered size 7, regular, as I like to feel my shoes more secure around my foot rather than having extra room for my foot to slide to the side or risk [spraining] my ankle.”

Promising Review: “This is the first pair of heels that I could wear more than two hours without serious pain. I ended up wearing them for six and a half for a wedding.
