As anyone with wide feet is *painfully* aware, most shoes are not designed to comfortably fit spread-out piggies. And! A lot of brands that do make "wide-width shoes" are still way too narrow. So, we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community which shoes are actually *the* best for wide feet — and they delivered with recommendations for tried-and-true flats, sneakers, boots, and more!
