Benefits of extra wide fit shoes
Not sure how wide-fitting shoes can help you or why they’re so popular? We’ve listed some key benefits to consider and see how they can make your daily life easier.
Blister prevention
It seems obvious, but it can be often overlooked that wide-fitting shoes help prevent blisters and corns. Due to the extra space your feet are afforded, friction becomes far less common, reducing the risk of painful blisters forming.
Breathability
The space in wide-fitting shoes also means a comfortable and breathable fit. Any moisture will easily disperse in the allowed space and exit the shoe seamlessly, so there’s little risk of your feet feeling stuffy and restrained.
Room for insoles
If you prefer extra protection in your shoes, wide-fitting shoes allow you the room to use insoles for that additional support. The room afforded by wide-fitting shoes provides options to make your comfort tailored to you by enjoying the spacious feel or adding supportive padding.
Comfortable walks
If you’re keen on long walks or hikes, you need shoes that will keep you comfortable throughout the journey. As you walk further, your feet may begin to swell, so wearing wide-fitting shoes will prevent any discomfort and tightness that can come with this.
What styles are most suited to wider feet?
Traditionally, open-sided shoes are considered the best style for wide feet, this is due to the more relaxed fit and access to ventilation compared to most closed-sided shoes. However, our collection aims to make every style accessible to those who require wide-fitting footwear. From boots to trainers, or even sandals, you're guaranteed to find the perfect wide fit footwear for you.

Enjoy the space outside your home and inside your shoes with spacious, flexible, wide-fitting shoes at Rieker. Take long walks, leisurely strolls to the office, or simply take the dog around the block without worrying about discomfort or blisters plaguing your experience. The room available in our wide-fitted footwear enhances feelings of flexibility so you can approach your day with freedom and feel like you’re walking on a cloud.
