4 Things You Should Know About Wide Feet

Years ago, the only choices for people with wide feet seemed to be boring practicality or painfully squeezing into shoes that neither fit nor looked attractive. However, the Internet delivers a range of options from stores like Onlineshoes.com and FootSmart. Now, whether you have naturally wide feet or they’ve grown that way through bunions, injury, pregnancy or medical issues, you can follow a few simple steps to find fashionable shoes that fit. Here are four things to know about wide feet:

1. Timing Is everything

Feet swell as we go about our routines. To get the best fit, be sure to measure your feet or shop for shoes late in the day.

2. No Need to Settle

Don't squeeze into too small shoes or stuff wads of tissue into the toes of shoes that are too long so they'll be wide enough. A bad fit can cause friction and cramps, leading to raw, burning skin, toe deformities, bunions, corns and calluses.

3. Have a Support System

Some shoes, especially slip-ons and high heels, let feet slide toward the toe box, causing problems for your toes, feet, ankles and legs. This also reduces the amount of arch support you get. Instead, buy shoes with laces or adjustable straps to keep your feet in place and removable inserts that let you add quality prescription or store-brand orthotics.

4. Give Your Toes Room to Breathe

A shoe with a wide toe box is the best choice because it gives your foot more stability and lets your toes lie in a more comfortable position
