FAQs
How do I know if I need wide fit shoes?
Common signs include pressure on the sides of your feet, bulging over the sole edge, rubbing at the little toe, or frequent blisters even in the correct length.
Are wide fit sizes the same across brands?
Not always. Width labelling varies a lot. If a brand provides a width chart or fit notes, use those as your best reference.
