Many people with wide-fit are victims of unsatisfying shoe-buying experiences. This is because some manufacturers prefer only to make shoes in the most common width, as they consider it to be cost effective. The result is limited options for those with narrow or wide feet.
Different sizing standards and some style cuts also pose a challenge for people with wide feet. It is usually challenging to find the walking shoes for wide feet. But choosing the right shoes for wide feet can be made a less daunting experience if you took into consideration the following steps;
Factors to consider
Determine your true shoe size
Shoe size is determined by both length and width, and to find out the right size it is necessary first to measure your 
feet. This is done by tracing your feet on a piece of paper and later measuring with a ruler or tape measure.
Best time to measure your feet is in the evening when they are swollen to their maximum size. You will the use the measurements obtained against a sizing chart to determine what size of shoe to wear.
Consider adjustable features
Go for the shoes that can adjust to your feet’s size. Some shoes come with adjustable features such as an adjustable buckle or a bit of extra elastic on the sides. These features allow you modify the width to match that of your feet. This tip is particularly useful if you are buying shoes online. Also, if you buy shoes with straps, make sure to keep them simple as too many straps can be compressing for wide feet.
Pay attention to the heels and toes
If you have wide feet, wearing shoes with a pointed toe can be constricting to your feet. You should instead opt for round-toed shoes as they give your toes enough room to wiggle. As for the heel, consider a thick and wide sole is better. This is because such a heel will provide the needed support and balance, especially if you take into account that a wide foot tends to push against the sides of a shoe.
Pick a flexible fabric
Not every shoe fabric is ideal for wide feet. Fabrics like suede and soft leathers will conform to the shape of your feet better compared to others like patent leathers. But even if the fabric promises to stretch, do not buy the wrong shoe size just because you hope to fit in it someday.
A flexible fabric will just ensure that the shoe still fits comfortable in the presence of factors such as gravity and pressure, and fluid retention which may cause changes in feet size.
