Finding the best wide-width shoes can be tricky: Shoe width isn’t always marked well, and finding a pair that works can lead to a lot of painful trial and error. Worse, wearing tight shoes long-term can lead to all sorts of issues, including ingrown nails, bunions, and calluses, Michael Fishkin, certified pedorthist (footwear expert) at Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists, told Health. Anyone with bunions, hammertoes, or flat feet may benefit from wearing a wide shoe.
Good wide-width shoes should be roomy in the toe box and offer good arch support. When shopping, look for shoes labeled as B (standard width), D (wide width), EE, 4E, or 6E for vast width. Mark J.

We’ve included the available widths in the critical specs section for the options below.
