I (am hoping I) will need new shoes soon... preferably flats, with a closed toe. I have wide feet and find most flats out there either give me way too much toe cleavage or make my feet look extra, extra wide, as if they are too wide for the shoes.
Can you link me up with some cute, closed toe shoes that would be comfy to work in, and also hopefully work with some dressier clothes and casual, too?

Most of the online shoe places have wide/extra wide widths available. Zappos, Nordstroms online and fullbeauty.com carry wide widths. Finding them in brick and mortar stores is much harder.

My feet are on the wide side. I have several pairs of Ahnu shoes, from hiking boots to close toed shoes to sandals. I highly recommend them. I also have several pairs of Pikalinos that are great. You can check them out on Zappos.

They were great shoes, and I only recently tossed them because they were worn out. |

The only ballet flats that I found to fit my wide foot is e360 by easy spirit.

I'm not sure about the shoes, I just bought a pair of super cute shoes in a children's size 2.5, for myself, LOL. Does this mean you got the job?

Do you have Payless up there? I have a couple of pairs of loafers from their Saf-T-Step (or something like that) line. They're not super glam, wear with a dress kind of shoes, but they work out well for wearing to work. I appreciate them especially in the winter. They are a bit pricey compared to what payless usually sells, at about $30-40 a pair, but much cheaper than department store shoes (and I try to get them during BOGO days). Not sure how many of those are going to be wide-width, but this should be the brand page: Payless shoes |

I haven't been in one in a while, I find them very hit-and-miss for me and my feet. Thanks for the recommendation, I 'll take a look for those. |

I feel your pain. Box stores rarely carry wides. That has sent me online. The bad news... it is a lot of trial and error.
Zappos and DSW have been my go to sites. Zappos is great because returns are so easy. I am able to return shoes until I get the right size. The downside is that they are more pricey. DSW is nearby, so I can drop those off at the store if they don't fit.
Rant: Why do they make the wide shoes in only the ugliest color? Seriously, if a shoe comes in white, black, and navy; would it kill you to offer it in more than white? I want the navy!

Take a look at Walk in Comfort there. I get shoes that fit my crazy arches there. They aren't cheap but I got 4 pairs at the end of season and they are perfect for both summer and winter. I also got them for 50% off!

I have pretty wide feet as well. For work, I have a few pairs of Hush Puppies leather ballet flats and I have been very happy with them and the fit. I am thinking that I get them from Soft Moc. I run around the hospital all day and my feet have never bothered me when I wear them
I popped into Payless last week and was astounded at the prices. They used to be so cheap. The one pair of flats that I liked was $54! I have never had a pair of shoes from there last more than a month or two, no way will I pay $54 for that when I can get a decent pair for a few dollars more elsewhere.

Payless started getting crazy pricey for their quality a few years ago. I think every pair of shoes I've ever bought from there has ended up making the bottoms of my feet just ache and hurt (not enough arch support??). |

I have these. They are Crocs brand but are a stretchy cloth material. I've never bought Crocs, but I got them for camping this summer------and then I've ended up wearing them like three days a week to work. Nothing rubs, wide but stay on my feet, no pressure points. Yeah, I might have to buy another pair. link |

I have wide feet too and do a lot of walking in the city. I bought two pairs of Crocs canvas ballet flats. They're not that cheap but they're like walking on clouds!!

I don't have a particular shoe to recommend but as I wear size 11s I have a very hard time finding anything in stores and therefore do a lot of shoe shopping through shoeme.ca which is a Canadian site (they have a code good for 30% off today: SUMMER30). Shipping is free and I believe returns are as well. I have had very good experiences with them. Good luck finding shoes and landing the job!!! |
