If you have been blessed with wide feet you will already know how hard it can be to get shoes that fit you properly. You may find that you need half sizes as you are in-between two sizes or that you need to find a shop that sells wide fit shoes.

On the high street there are more and more shops that sell wide fitting shoes than years ago, but still often the range is quite limited. Most of the “going out” shoes seem to be designed for people with very narrow feet and if you have wide feet you may find that the style you like simply isn’t available.

Shopping online does often give you a better choice but it is sometimes hard to tell exactly what a shoe looks like until you have tried it on. You also may not know what size you are as some people still have to go up a size even in some wide fitting shoes.

If you are ordering from a catalogue then you may decide to order both sizes to try on, check the returns process before you do this to ensure you can return one pair for free and to get a full refund.
