Womens Wide Width Shoes

Converse Chucks are awesome. They’ve been in style since even the 50s. Kurt Cobain and the Ramones famously rocked them in the 70s and 90s and it’s still cool to rock them today. They come in high top or low top, black, red, blue, green, whatever color, solid, striped…basically any kind of variety you can imagine, and those are just the generic shoes, there’s even a variety of limited edition Chucks on top of that. It can be agreed that Converses are all star, all around great except for one shortcoming—they look horrible on wide feet.

Actually, it’s not just Chucks that are affected. It’s a big problem with women’s shoes in general, since while men’s shoes often come with considerable width, women’s shoes are usually more slender. Women with wide feet have to squeeze them in and they end up distorting the shoe design and making material bend in places it shouldn’t, not to mention the discomfort. Shoes that are too small are both a physical and aesthetic problem, and the lack of womens wide width shoes makes wide footed women feel like there isn’t any room for them in the shoe department. It’s not enough for there to be sizes like 6 and 7 and half sizes in between. Shoe sizes could benefit from having a normal and wide option. Women with wider feet walk around, attend events, and go out with friends too, you know. They need to wear sneakers, heels and flip flops too.

So thank goodness for the increased availability of womens wide width shoes today. In the same way that the plus size industry is starting to make its way into the market, womens wide width shoes are now an available option in various places. Lane Bryant, which sells plus size womens clothes also sells shoes with wider width. Other options are Zappos, and Maryland Square. And even some of the big mainstream companies are starting to widen their clientele—Skechers and Nike offer some womens wide width shoes along with their usual shoe lines.

Making women’s wide width shoes available to the public benefits all by increasing business as well as providing availability and comfort. Now all women can find the shoes that are right for them. Ideally, we’d all have our own custom made footwear to take into consideration the wide diversity of feet in the population, but until then the increased selection will have to do.
