1. These popular Skechers walking shoes that have put a pep in over 10,000 Amazon reviewers' step. The stretchy upper means your feet will never feel boxed in and the mesh material will keep them cool and ventilated in the heat.
Promising review: "I LOVE THESE SHOES!! I have been searching for a pair of black shoes that I could wear to work for months after a national shoe chain stopped carrying the shoes that my wide feet could fit comfortably. I switched to a great pair of shoes but after a short time I started building up calluses on the balls of my feet and I would experience back pain and foot soreness. My aches were so bad I was in constant pain and rarely moved from my desk unless I had to. I have been searching, ordering, and then returning multiple pairs of shoes because they NEVER fit!! I think I've finally found the perfect pair. I am able to wear these shoes all day at work, they are acceptable for our business casual office and I have a bounce to my step that I haven't had in months because they're so lightweight!! I don't go home limping and needing to soak my feet." —MLM
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (Available in sizes 5–12 and 13 colors).
2. A pair of trendy bestselling pumps to prove you don't have to sacrifice style when shopping for wide-width shoes. The pointed-toe pumps have a stretchy asymmetrical strap and a cut-out on the side so your feet will have a little extra room.
Promising review: "I have wide feet and broke a bone in my foot a few years ago. Ever since then, anything with a heel has been my enemy. I got these shoes because I needed heels for an event, and I’m so glad I did! They’re comfortable and cute, functional and flirty. I was able to comfortably wear them all day. Would highly recommend." —Priscilla Oddo
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and two colors).
3. A pair of cork footbed sandals that mold to the shape of your feet — and reviewers say they're just as good as similar but way more expensive options. The straps also feature an easily adjustable buckle for a more customized fit.
Promising review: "I really like these. I have wide feet and they are perfect for people like me. The straps adjust which is great for me because my feet swell sometimes. I haven't worn them excessively so I can't speak to durability, but with normal wear they seem fine. They are comfortable to walk in and look super cute." —KMW
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes 5-13 and 22 colors).
4. A bestselling pair of Amazon Essentials flats – they've become a favorite of over 16,000 reviewers. They're super flexible right out of the package and extremely lightweight, so you'll basically be reaching for them all the time.
Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started - I'm usually in slippers, flip flops, or sneakers. And I have to say - these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pair of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost 3 or 4 times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. Even though they're not leather, they do have some give to them. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89Top
Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in sizes 5-15 and 33 colors).
5. A comfy pair of Dr. Scholl's shoes that are super easy to slip on when you're in a hurry. They feature microsuede made from recycled water bottles — so you can feel good about looking good.
Promising review: "These are SO comfy and supportive. I’ll go ahead and say that if your foot is even a little wide or you think your foot MAY be wide; get a wide! I purchased a regular 10 in these and they were too tight and narrow. The wide is PERFECT.
I have a heel spur/plantar fasciitis and this really makes me feel like I have the support I need in that aspect! There’s a little arch support as well, nothing too high, but you could always put in some inserts if you needed something more." —Taylor Carter
Get it from Amazon for $47.14+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 17 colors).
6. These fashionable wedges with a cushy insole and adjustable ankle strap so you can be sure your heel never slips out and ruins your runway-ready strut when you decide to turn the sidewalk into a catwalk.
Promising review: "Very comfortable! I wore them all day the first day I put them on. I have a wide foot so it is very hard to find shoes like these that actually fit and I like the fact they have regular and wide options 😊 I will be buying more in different colors." —victoria Nieves
Get it from Amazon for $33.18+ (available in sizes 5-12 and six colors).
7. A pair of sneakers that put a slip-on twist to the classic Keds design. It has the same comfy sole and breathable lining, but you won't have to fumble around with any shoe laces.
Promising review: "I love the fit. I have a wide foot and a high arch so it is important that a shoe fit properly. This one does. Plenty of room in the toe area and no wear (sore) on the heel. Arch is high enough so it doesn't cut off the circulation. Great shoe all around." —Celaine Krois
Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in sizes 4–13).
8. A pair of sleek flats with a unique woven design for the days when you need something simple but are tired of your boring go-to flats.
Promising review: "You cannot beat Clarks for comfort and high quality. And these fit that category. They are comfortably padded and there is no break-in time required. They fit perfectly the fit time you step into them. The toe box is wide so there is no crowding. The colors are beautiful and I would equate the look to a hurachi style." —N. Hillegonds
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in sizes 5-12 and six colors).
9. A pair of Clarks that will make you re-think every thing you ever knew about loafers. These aren't the boxy, stuffy designs you're probably used to — they're sleek and lightweight with enough stretch to let your feet breathe.
10. Or these fuss-free loafers with an adjustable side strap so you can give the sides of your feet a bit more wiggle room. Say goodbye to the dreaded "breaking in" period!
Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear for work and I absolutely love them. I was so happy to see that they carried a wide width because I need a wider than normal toe box and the 9W fits me perfectly. I am required to wear closed toe shoes for work because I work in healthcare and these are comfortable enough for me to wear all day long. They are very stylish and I get a lot of compliments on them." —3lgal
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5-12 and five colors).
11. A pair of classic white sneakers that are easily flexible, so they'll feel familiar and comfortable the second you take them out of the box.
Promising review: "I have purchased five pairs (and counting) of this style of tennis shoe. I have rheumatoid arthritis and wide feet and these are the only shoes I have found that feel comfortable for extended periods of time. They are not too tight, but provide enough support on the memory foam insole. Personally, I also love their appearance and think they work well for my office job with a business casual dress code. This was the first pair of leather ones that I bought because I was afraid they wouldn't 'give' enough like the twill and jersey ones do; I'm glad I took the risk because they are JUST as comfortable." —kbuck
Get it from Amazon for $27.43 (available in sizes 5-12 and nine colors).
12. A pair of pumps with a short but sleek heel to keep you lifted yet supported when you need something formal but are tired of wearing flats all the time.
Promising review: "I barely got the shoes out of the box and I had to review! These shoes are awesome! I normally buy a size bigger than what I need because I have a wide foot but this time I decided to get a size closer to my size and chose a wide and this fits so amazing! I almost forgot what it felt like to wear the size I actually need, thank you so much for offering these shoes and at such as affordable price! I will purchase more in the future." —LovelyLadyS
Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes 5-11 and two colors).
13. These stretchy, breathable Skechers with a durable high-rebound insole so you can pick up the pace without needing a foot massage later.
Promising review: "I have the worst feet you can imagine: Very wide, flat, with bunions and hammer toes. I've always had to buy shoes in a bigger size and always had issues with pain from the hammer toes not having enough room. These shoes are great! I can buy my normal size in the wide width instead of a bigger size. They have a supportive foot bed that feels like memory foam, and the cloth upper stretches enough so that my terrible toes and bad bunions have room without the shoe looking bulky." —Momma Hen
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5-13 and 21 colors).
14. A pair of functional and stylish pointed-toe flats that are wide enough to give you breathing room yet fitted enough to feel secure and supportive.
15. A pair of peep toe slingbacks for the days when you want something casual and breezy yet chic and dressy at the same time. Plus, spring is here and it's the perfect time to show off that pedicure!
Promising review: "Wonderful shoes for problem feet! I can never find dress shoes because my feet are so wide and painful. Most shoes hurt after only a few minutes. These shoes are so nice! Dressy and comfortable for the whole evening. I wouldn’t wear them in place of flip flops, but for a dress up event they are about as good as it gets!" —SueS
Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in sizes 5-11 and six colors).
16. Elastic ballet flats with a roomy rounded design so your toes won't be squished together and dying to break free at the end of the day.
Promising review: "These are super cute for excellent price! They fit well. Note, I have a wide foot, often having to order in wide widths — not necessary in these! I have worn them three times now — twice walking in NYC to go to Broadway shows and so far so good. No blisters or discomfort." —Joy Miller
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and 25 colors and patterns).

17. These Blowfish micro-wedge sandals with faux leather straps to give a nice edge to your summer footwear collection. The supremely cushiony footbed might make you forget you're even wearing sandals.
18. Leather platform clogs that are eye-catching and quirky enough to get you tons of compliments, yet classic enough to go with basically every outfit in your closet.
Promising review: "I love, love, love these shoes. I usually wear about a 9 US size, sometimes 8.5 or 9.5, but I have wide feet, especially at my toes. I also have pretty high arches. These shoes are cute, supportive, and comfortable. I can wear them for hours without pain or blisters. I would recommend these to anyone and I will likely buy them in another color." —emies
Get them from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5–10 and 12 colors).
19. Adidas Cloudfoam running shoes with over 34,000 five-star reviews! Maybe it's the breathable mesh upper, or maybe it's the cushiony memory foam lining that'll make you feel like you're walking on a cloud.
Promising review: "I'm a nurse & work for 12 hours on my feet. I also have very flat, very wide, large feet for a woman (thank you Nana!) lol. These shoes are so comfy! They're super light, flexible, and they don't make any noise when I'm sneaking into my patients' rooms in the middle of the night to do things. They don't make my feet sweat or stink." —trinitee0925
Get them from Amazon for $42.70+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 43 colors).
20. Adjustable ankle strap wedges that are so comfortable you'll never again think to yourself, "Ugh, I can't wait to get home and take these shoes off!" Plus, the low wedge will add just enough height to pull your spring-chic look together.
Promising review: "I want one in each color! I struggle to find comfortable sandals because I have wide and flat feet with not the best circulation, but these make me feel like I'm barely in heels....comfort all the way!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 29 colors).
21. Faux suede, lace-up heels to truly ~elevate~ your style thanks to the low, chunky heel and strappy lace-up detail at the ankle.
Promising review: These are honestly my favorite! For someone with wide feet, they fit like a glove! They are also very comfortable to wear all night. I'm definitely buying all the other colors!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–10.5 and six colors).
22. Lightweight mesh sneakers with a super flexible sole so you can basically glide your way through those afternoon errands.
Promising review: "These are incredibly comfortable — I wore them for the first time helping a friend move and they fit amazingly. I have a wide foot, but the fabric was flexible yet supportive." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 28 colors).
23. These dressy lace-ups that are way cuter than a pair of Oxfords has any right to be. That platform sole is truly next level and helps them achieve the hardest shoe feat: looking both dressy and casual at the same time.
Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews for shoes, but these are one of the exceptions where I enjoy them so much that I have to leave the review. I have wide-width foot and it is very hard to find a pair of shoes that doesn’t require break-in period. This dress shoes not only cute, fashionable, but also surprisingly very comfortable. I took train to work so the trip requires me to walk and stand a lot. Right now it’s 4 p.m. and I still have the shoes on my feet. Good gracious lord. I might as well get another pair in red, because I love them too much!!" —Mama Panda
Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 5–10 and five colors).

Promising review: "Great shoes — my most comfortable summer shoes! I have wide feet because of my bunions and these are super comfortable minus a day of breaking in, but they're all good now. My coworker saw these and ordered herself a pair." —SweetTea13
Get them from Amazon for $19.64+ (available in sizes 5–10 and six colors).
25. A pair of side-zip sneakers that are a hiding a big secret: there's a hidden wedge inside! You'll get all the lift and support of a normal wedge heel with the look of a classic sneaker — that's truly a win-win.
Promising review: "Fits perfectly! I have wide feet and they come in wide sizes. Perfect wiggle room in the toes and no areas that rub or poke. Both zippers work and the white part doesn’t have cheap stitching like other brands. They're comfortable and you can hardly tell there’s a hidden heel. I feel so tall!" —Jane
Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and nine colors).
26. Braided rope sandals reviewers say are wide enough to comfortably support all your toes without feeling bulky and oversized. Plus, the straps will add a nice boho-chic touch to your favorite summer dresses.
Promising review: "I love these! I bought them in yellow/gold and black for my European vacation. I have wide feet and I have problems finding shoes that are comfortable. The style works for me because they wrap around the wide part and they are soooo comfortable. I was amazed at how great they are!" —Jennifer

Their elastic straps comfortably expand to fit wide feet!
Promising review: "I really love these. They're very comfortable and look good with just about everything. I followed the advice in other reviews and got a size down as they do run big. I usually wear an 8.5 and got an 8. The 8 fit perfectly. As I have wide feet, I always have to worry about the front straps, but since in these it's elastic it was no problem. I really love them and would definitely buy again." —Jacqueline Lopez

I think the quality it great for the price and I’m excited to wear them to all the weddings I have to attend this summer. If you’re debating purchasing, do it, you won’t be disappointed." —Aleyah Banuelos
