1. A pair of simple sneakers that'll keep your foot super supported. These bbs comes with a removable memory foam sock liner, so you don't even need to wear socks. Although they might be simple, you won't regret getting a pair of these sturdy sneaks.
2. A pair of chunky dad sneakers because the last pair you bought now has holes in them. Besides having memory foam support, these are also designed to work for all foot shapes, especially wide feet.
3. A pair of Vans slip-on sneakers because they're so effortlessly cool and perfect for wide-footed peeps. Sometimes you just want to slip on sneakers without worrying about tripping over your laces — perfect for the lazy dresser.
4. Some low-rise canvas sneakers by Cariuma in an array of colors and materials like leather, suede, and even linen, for all of you peeps with sweaty feet out there.
Promising review: "Love it, so comfortable ! I have broad feet, these are the only sneakers that fit well, and feel light." —Aida Haron
Get them from Cariuma for $85 (available in men's and women's sizes 5–13, four materials, and 24 colors).
5. A pair of platform high-top Converse for an elevated look (see what we did there?). Funky and edgy, these would be perfect for dancing the night away at concerts or wandering the streets of a new city. Unlike your average Converse, these are a bit wider, so kiss your ancient, uncomfortable, and narrow Chucks goodbye.
6. A chunky sneaker that was created to help those with knee pain. Even if you don't have knee pain, these have a ton of support and are super flexible and breathable, and great for any shenanigans you're planning to get into.
7. A pair of Dr. Scholl's slide-on sneakers to give you all the support your friends and family couldn't — JK! Fun fact about these is that part of the shoe is made from recycled bottles, so you can feel great (emotionally and physically) while wearing them.
8. Slip-on sneakers, because these have already made hundreds of people with wide feet happy as a clam. They're designed with plenty of room, boast padded footbeds for extra comfort, and will never go out of style. Talk about a *sole*mate.
9. A pair of side-zip sneakers that are perfect for a quick on and off option that will give you the support you need but also won't clash with your outfit of the day.
10. Lightweight sneakers, because your feet, like you, need to breathe.
11. Hidden wedge sneakers featuring sleek zipper detailing that'll elevate your shoe game to new heights. If you're looking for a shoe with a bit of height, forgo the pumps and opt for this cute and comfy shoe option instead.
12. A pair of platform sneakers to give you something a little more throwback than your standard white tennies. They've still got that clean look, but with a chunkier sole.
13. A cushioned pair of New Balance sneakers, because comfort is key if you’re planning to embark on a long run. Unlike many athletic shoes, these sneakers come in extra wide, which is helpful if your feet tend to feel cramped in standard or even wide shoes.
14. A top-selling pair of low-profile Vans slip-on sneakers that have been trendy for years for a reason. Reviewers rave about their versatile design, durability, and all-day (and night, then day again) comfort.
