Look for brands that make shoes a little wider than the norm.
If your feet are just a smidge too wide for regular sizes, check out these brands, recommended by Adrienne Heron, director of marketing and buying for Ron White The Foot Shoppe: Cole Haan, MBT, Mephisto, Converse, Geox and Frye. These companies make shoes that are a little wider than the norm. But if your feet are really wide, select brands that offer footwear in various widths, like Hush Puppies, Rockport, Skechers, Keds and New Balance. Either way, you’re in luck. Stores like Payless ShoeSource are offering better selections of shoes for larger or wider feet. And the online stores are getting into the game too. If you’re into e-shopping, check out payless.com, softmoc.com/ca, tonyshoes.com and the UK-based cosyfeet.com.
