How to choose boots for a wide foot?

Many women believe that the most difficult to find boots for a wide foot. This is because this type of footwear is quite built-up, massive and made of thicker materials. This means that it adjusts to our anatomy to a lesser extent, so you need to hit the right size to feel comfortable. Too narrow ladies' boots will put pressure when walking, causing skin abrasions and even wounds. On the other hand, too wide will not provide adequate support for the foot and can lead to serious injuries, including sprains.

Fortunately, footwear manufacturers increasingly recognize that our foot has several dimensions and take this fact into account when creating new collections. Shoes for a wide foot are denoted by the letter H. Sometimes we also encounter ½ H, i.e. footwear with a slightly larger than standard (G) tenacity. Women blessed with narrow feet, on the other hand, should look for shoes with the letter E. At this point, it is worth noting that the tautness consists of 4 key parameters:

  • forefoot circumference,
  • underbelly circumference,
  • width at forefoot,
  • width at heel.

It is understood that people who have a high instep usually need shoes for a wider foot (H or ½ H). This parameter helps verify the water test. It involves placing a wet foot on a clean sheet of paper. If it leaves a mark in the middle part, the boost is standard. Its absence indicates a high. We can then assume that we have wide feet.

For autumn and winter footwear, which is considered the most demanding, it is best to bet on boots marked H and ½ H. If the manufacturer does not specify the tenacity, follow these guidelines.

  1. Buy footwear made of natural leather. The best choice will be suede women's boots, which show considerable flexibility, and at the same time are sewn from a soft and pleasant material for the body.
  2. Women's boots on a stiletto or on a heel always look more favorable than those on a thin heel. In addition, they hold a wider foot better and are easier to balance in with a larger stance.
  3. Boots with a rounded front are considered the best shoes for a wide foot, as they provide adequate space for our toes. They do not press them anywhere, this reduces the risk of their deformation and painful abrasions. Besides, they look slicker.

Are there elegant women's shoes for a wide foot?

It is accepted that elegant shoes for a wide foot are not a good choice. However, this is just a stereotype that blandly reflects reality. Whether you wear a size 35 or 42, E, G or H frame, you can reach for heels, pumps, moccasins and sports shoes. Don't treat your foot dimensions as a limitation!

Elegant women's shoes for a wide foot will be recognized by the H marking, which symbolizes a larger stoutness. If you want comfort that goes hand in hand with an aesthetically pleasing appearance, also be guided by the following criteria. They will help us make the right purchasing decisions.

  1. Avoid thin straps with stilettos and pumps. First, these like to stick into the skin and bruise it. Second, they contrast with our wider foot, making this foot appear more massive than it really is. If a strap is to appear in the shoes, choose the thicker one.
  2. Pointed or square nose are solutions that have been on trend for several seasons. Optically elongate the leg and make it slimmer. On the other hand, they squeeze the fingers, causing pain and discomfort. Worn regularly, they can even contribute to their deformation and damage. Besides, a wider foot against such a front does not look very favorable.
  3. When choosing elegant shoes for a wide foot, rather beware of thin heels. First of all, it is more difficult to keep balance on them with the greater stoutness. Second, they do not add to our beauty. A thicker, solid heel (post) or a catsuit will optically give lightness to our feet.
  4. Darker pumps always slim the foot, so it is worth betting on them to gain more confidence.

Wide-foot sandals. Freedom and style

Women emphasize that the easiest way for them to find sandals for a wide foot. In the summer, the matter seems a little easier, because the open design of the shoes with the option of adjustment gives us definitely more options. Flip-flops that fasten with Velcro at the front or have a wider strap with a buckle will easily fit your individual measurements.

Reaching for ladies' sandals, we usually also gain a great deal of freedom in this regard. However, let's remember a few key principles. Otherwise, the impinging belt will become a source of suffering, especially on hot days, when water is retained in our body, which is responsible for swelling.

  1. Choose women's strappy sandals with multi-adjustable straps. You will always be able to adjust them to the current width of your foot. You will thus avoid discomfort.
  2. Wide-footed sandals with thicker straps will work best. Avoid thinsets, as these often bruise the skin. In addition, they expose a higher turgidity by contrast.
  3. Your attention is recommended to models with a more strongly built-up front, which provide stability. They also protect the fingers from falling out.
  4. If you desire to buy heeled sandals, opt for a post. An anchor also seems to be a good solution, which guarantees an even distribution of body weight. Avoid thin stilettos that won't give you proper stability.
  5. Women's leather sandals are considered to be extremely comfortable because they exhibit greater flexibility. Your special attention we recommend models made of suede.
  6. When it comes to shoes for summer, similar rules apply to boots or pumps. A rounded front is simply much more favorable than a spike or square.
