Does shoe width matter?

Choosing the right shoes width is key to your foot health.

Shoes that are too narrow can cause sores, cramps and bunions. They’re also likely to be too tight, increasing the chance of sweating and the risk of bacterial infection. 

Shoes that are too wide won’t secure your foot properly, causing friction while walking, potentially leading to sores and blisters. To walk properly, your toes need to be gripped. If they’re not, it can lead to issues such as hammer toe and nail problems. 

How can I measure my shoe width?

Follow these steps to measure your feet and find a pair of shoes with the right width:

1. Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your bare foot.
2. Place a foot on the ground as if you were standing normally.
3. Mark the width of your foot in millimeters on the tape measure.
4. Use this measurement to determine the shoe width you need.

 Does shoe width increase with shoe size?

Generally speaking, the bigger your foot, the wider it is. Shoe width doesn’t just apply to the distance between the widest part of your shoe, but also how deep it is too.

Shoe size and shoe width tend to be proportional in standard sizing, so large shoes may run a little wider than necessary if you have long, but narrow feet.

However, we’d advise against opting for a larger shoe size, solely for the purpose of getting a wider fit, as this could cause a trip hazard.
