Struggling to Find Chic Shoes for Wide Feet? These 3 Brands Have You Covered
Tired of settling when it comes to wide width shoes? These brands prove you don’t have to.
If you have wide feet, you already know the struggle. The selection shrinks, the styles skew orthopedic, and finding something that actually feels stylish can feel near impossible. The fashion industry hasn’t done wide feet many favors, but that’s finally starting to change. We’ve found the designers making wide width shoes for women that are equal parts painless and chic. We feel comfort shouldn’t cost you your style. In this article, you’ll learn about brands redefining what wide-fit shoes can look and feel like.
Sargasso & Grey
Sargasso & Grey, a luxury British shoe company, was established in 2014 by Katie Owen after struggling to find elegant, well-fitting shoes for her own wide feet. She was fed up with painful shoes so she decided to start her own company and create beautiful and elegant footwear to serve the needs of women who suffer from the pain and frustration of poorly made “wide” shoes.
Sargasso & Grey’s collection features classic wide width pumps and flats that are all meticulously crafted to provide a comfortable fit without looking like orthopedic specialty shoes. They also use premium suedes and leathers and apply traditional craftsmanship techniques to ensure each pair is both durable and luxurious. We feel that with a mission like that we are certain these shoes will keep your feet happy.
Where are they made?
Sargasso & Grey shoes are predominantly crafted in Elda, Spain, by master shoemakers across three family-run factories known for their expertise in high-quality footwear. To maintain authenticity, all materials (leather, heels, soles, and insoles) are sourced from Spanish suppliers.
Why are they different?
Unlike many brands that simply scale up standard sizes to create wide-fit options, which often result in loose heels and poor fit, Sargasso & Grey strategically adds width only where it’s needed: the toe box. (Mind blown! What a concept! Lol.) The improved toe box ensures a secure and spacious fit that won’t hurt your toes or toe nails. This is perfect for those of you looking for formal wide width loafers, pumps or flats.
We took the illustration below from their website. It highlights each area they focus on when crafting the perfect shoe for wide feet.
So if you are searching for a brand created for women by women, check out Sargasso & Grey!
Sole Bliss
Sole Bliss was founded by Lisa Kay in 2017, after developing a bunion herself and realizing how few stylish options existed for women with foot concerns. With nearly 45 million women in the U.S. affected, the need was clear. What sets Sole Bliss apart is its focus on women with both wide feet and bunions, a rare and thoughtful combination in the footwear industry. Every detail is designed to provide relief, without ever compromising on style.
After years of research and development, she launched its first collection of heels, which have since gained a loyal following, including British royalty and Hollywood A-listers.
Where are they made?
Sole Bliss shoes are made in family-owned factories in Italy and Spain. They also collaborate with podiatrists and artisans to create shoes that are made to look perfect on the outside and feel the same on the inside.
Why are they different?
Every pair of Sole Bliss shoes is designed with innovative, patent-pending Comfort Technology—a triple-layer cushioning system that provides exceptional support and relief. Additionally, each style incorporates the exclusive Bunion Bed®—a discreet, stretch panel that adapts to bunions and wide feet without compromising the shoe’s elegant silhouette.
Each pair is thoughtfully engineered with a deep and wide toe box for extra space, a triple-layer memory foam footbed for lasting comfort, a hidden stretch panel for a flexible fit, and superior arch support for added stability.
Sole Bliss delivers a luxury comfort experience unlike any other, making it an excellent choice for women with bunions and wide feet. Check out Sole Bliss Shoes for your perfect pair.
