1. Strappy sandals for those who like the idea of heels, but don't want to feel like they're wearing a pair of stilts. These babies come in a low platform style that'll give you a lil' height boost without making your arch feel like its 10 feet above the ground.
Promising review: "This is my second pair of this super comfy shoe!! The suede is soft and I wore them all day the very first time. I have bunions and the straps hide them perfectly and they do not hurt! I love them!!" —Connie B.

2. A classy pair of asymmetrical faux suede mules with a lightly padded footbed that'll support the balls of your feet without feeling like the front of your foot is getting smushed inside.
Promising review: "Just received them, they’re very comfortable, read some reviews about the size, and it’s true, need to buy one size larger to fit them. My size is 7, but bought 7-1/2, and they fit perfect." —Lewlew

3. Faux leather pumps making history as being *the* pointy style that actually *works* for wide widths. And because we care so much about you, dear reader, we're suggesting this style since it has an adjustable ankle strap and a low-rise heel. That's sophistication + comfort for your precious feet!
Promising review: "I wear these to work all the time. They’re super comfortable. I wear a 10 and don’t usually wear wide but my feet are on the wider side. I was worried these would be tight around my toes but they are not tight at all, they fit perfectly." —Diana

Promising review: "I’m don’t really wear heels. I don’t even remember the last time I did, but I do remember that the few times I did it was not the best experience! BUT THESE CAME FROM HEAVEN lol! Walked all night with them!! 4 p.m.–10 p.m. AMAZING! I even jumped on them just cause I was so surprised how great they came out lol lol!" —Asos Customer
Get them from for $37.99 (available in wide sizes 4–11 and three colors).
5. Black peep-toe ankle booties reviewers note are designed with a stretchy, perforated fabric upper that will mold to your shape and size — but won't cut off the circulation to your pinkies. Think of these like a comforting hug that will cradle your feet all night long *awww*.
Promising review: "I'm very, very pleased with my decision! I have wide feet, so it's very hard to find comfortable shoes that actually fit right, but these are it! I like EVERYTHING about them! The material is stretchy, so all I have to do is slip them on. No bending over to buckle or tie straps and no pinky toe hanging out, lol! Heel is about 3 inches, if that, so easy and comfortable to walk in! Very NICE purchase!!!" —Sherry Hernandez
Get them Amazon from for $40.97+ (available in sizes 5–11 and wide sizes 6–11).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these! They’re super cute and comfortable. I have a trouble with shoes like these fitting over the top of my foot sometimes but these fit great. I’ll definitely be buying more colors." —Target Customer
"These shoes are not only cute, but they are comfortable too! I don't usually wear heels and thought these would be uncomfortable after an hour of wear, but I had them on for over 5 hours and my feet never hurt. They didn't cause any blisters either. They are true to size and a great buy!" —Target Customer
Get them from for $34.99 (available in sizes 6–12, wide sizes 5–11, and six colors).
7. Platform wedges bejeweled with decorative beads that scream, "get my feet on vacation!" These beauts will not only have you feeling secure with their wedge base, but will up the ante on any outfit you pair 'em with — at home or away.
Psst! The brand says size up if you're a wide fit.
Promising review: "I have a wide foot where you know how the littlest piggy don't want to fit? These keep my pinky toe in check. They are cute and comfortable. They're also true to size and easy to get on and off. They go with everything." —Lisa B
Get them from Amazon for $41.98+ (available in sizes 5–10 and 19 colors).

Promising review: "I'm really happy with these shoes. They are comfortable to wear during my long shifts that require hours of standing. I have received compliments from clients and coworkers about how they look too." —LifeStride Customer

9. A pair of fiery red stilettos (also available in a ton of neutral and vibrant hues) that actually *won't* make your feet feel like they're on fire by the end of the night.
Promising review: "I have always struggled with wide feet, searching for ‘wide-width’ options is limiting and mostly disappointing. I love shoes, heels, but ‘attractive feminine options for wide feet’ is an oxymoron until I discovered this shoe. I love it, it FEELS fantastic. I’m ordering the same in nude, would love other color options too. I love this shoe!" —Nordstrom Customer
Get them from Nordstrom for $52.97+ (available in sizes 4–14, wide sizes 6–10, and 27 colors).
10. A platform mule sandal with a heel worthy of its place on a runway. These pieces of art will zhuzh up any lightwash denim, skirts, and black jeans...? ::Re-enters the room:: Sorry, that visual just sent me to another planet — because that outfit for your GNO would look ~out of this world~.
Promising review: "I love these! They just arrived and I haven’t taken them off yet! They do run about one size smaller than I typically wear so I would definitely size up about 1/2 or one full size, but otherwise they are trendy and cute and will look great this fall!" —Torrid Customer
Get them from Torrid for $38.93 (originally $59.90; available in wide sizes 6–12 and two colors).
11. Leather platform clogs here to help feet look and *feel* happy all day long. What's not to love? You've got comfort served in the form of '70s-era fashion with a not-so-high heel that looks divine with virtually any outfit. OK... I'm convinced. You need these.
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 $66.01+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 17 colors).
12. A pair of dance-friendly crisscross heels that are anything but basic. With a secure, elasticized heel strap, your feet will feel so pretty dressed up in these, you'll find it hard not to pirouette right out of the door.
Promising review: "Ordered the wide option and it's a good fit. Comfortable and stylish." —Zappos Customer
Get them from Zappos for $52.46 (originally $79.99, available in sizes 5–11 and wide sizes 6–9.5).
13. Pump wedges for those looking for coverage, sturdiness, and a weeee bit of elevation. These gems are made from 100% leather (yes, quality), are designed with a grippy sole (ok, stability), and will go with just about everything you own in your closet (hello, versatility).
Reviewers recommend sizing down!
Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear at my baby shower. My feet had been swollen and shoes were uncomfortable. My shower was in mid winter and I wanted a dressy closed toe shoe with a bit of a heel. These shoes were perfect! I did buy a half size larger than needed to give my piggies some extra wiggle room and they were just right. My feet did not hurt all day! I have a high arch and I added a silicone arch support. However, you have normal feet you won't need the extra arch. I love this brand!" —Taryn Simmons
Get them from for $39.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes 6–12, narrow sizes 7–10, and four colors).
14. A pair of clear chunky heels for a modern (and more comfortable) take on Cinderella's glass slipper. These have a slight stretch to keep your feet comfy long after the clock strikes midnight.
15. A pair of heeled oxfords with an uber-fancy brogue design to make you feel like a classy and erudite university professor.
16. And a pair of faux suede, lace-up heels to give you the stunning look of a heel minus the foot, ankle, knee and back pain. 🙌🏽
