Wide Walking Shoes

Wide Walking Shoes that are comfortable, can essentially be the difference in whether or not you get the necessary exercise your body craves.

What is the difference between a wide shoe and a regular shoe?

Well. The difference simply put, is that wide shoes are specifically manufactured to be wider than normal. Believe it or not the length of a foot does not predetermine its width. Some people have very narrow feet, others have big wide fat ones. It is more common than some would think.

What types are there?

There are many companies that create shoes based solely (hehe?) on custom fitting for the width of peoples feet. For example: the Wide Clog, New Balance, ASICS,  Munro, Slippers and Clarks, just to name a few.

How do I pick a size?

In pretty much any shoe store you can have someone measure your foot for you. After they get you a size that feels right, test it out. Do a little walk around the store, make sure it feels good before you leave. You don’t want to have to return them later.

Sizes available:

A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE, EEEE, F, G. (A being the narrowest and G widest.)

Take good care of your feet!

I travel a lot, and I never really paid attention to the wear and tear of having standard non-custom fit shoes on my feet. A few years ago I ran into some trouble where my feet would start to ache at night. And no I wasn’t out prancing around in 5-inch pumps (I know thats what you were thinking). Although, I do have a whole new respect for you ladies, wearing heels and other fashion oriented but comfort restricting types of shoes. I don’t know how you do it.

But, I digress. I was wearing your every day standard dress shoe or running sneaker, something I felt was comfortable at the time of purchase. Never thinking twice about it, until the pain started to become unbearable . An acquaintance of mine was having a similar problem and I stumbled into a conversation with him about it. I started learning a bit about these wide walking shoes which I never knew existed. Hopefully, my posts can help you learn a thing or two about them as well. Thank you for reading.
