Walking shoes available in wide 2E/4E

Have you ever tried on Asics GEL-LYTE III OG Herren Sneaker Weiß 1201A257-100 Freizeit Leder Schuhe NEU and immediately felt that your toes were cramped and pinched together? If you have tried multiple full and half sizes with no luck, there is a chance that your foot dimensions require a pair of wide walking shoes. But how do you know for sure? The key here is knowing your foot measurements.

How to tell if you need wide walking shoes

Ideally, you would have your feet measured by a professional, using a Brannock’s device or a similar tool. But if this option is not available to you, the old pen-and-paper trick will do. Place two pieces of paper on the floor, one for each foot, and step on them. Then, using a pen or a marker, trace the outline of both feet. You can ask a friend to help you do this to get a more precise outline or if you have trouble with mobility.

Tips on measuring your feet

• Measure your foot later in the day so that it had enough time to expand fully.
• If you plan on wearing socks with your wide walking shoes, put them before getting the outline of your feet.
• Make sure the pen is upright and the tip doesn’t go under the foot while going around the foot.

After acquiring the shape, use a ruler or a measuring tape to get the length and the width. Measure the distance from the longest point of the toe and the farthest point of the heel to determine the length. For the width, measure across the widest part of the foot, which is usually the ball area. Be sure to take notes for both feet. Consider the foot with the larger value, then compare it to a size and width chart. Size charts from different brands may vary, so if you have a brand in mind, be sure to compare your numbers with their table. If you are in between sizes, consider the larger measurement.

Note! These charts are not 100% accurate as brands from different countries may use their own size and width charts that have different values from the above tables. The best way to know what shoe size and width to get is by comparing your foot measurements to the brand’s charts. Make sure the retailer has a return or refund policy so you can exchange your pair of wide walking shoes if they do not feel right.
