Have you always wondered what are the best shoe brands for women? There is a vast selection of shoe styles out there to choose from, but certain shoe styles made from specific shoe brands tend to manufacture better shoes than others in terms of support, durability, and fit.
There are certain shoe brands that cater not only to women with medium width feet and regular arches, but also to women with narrow, wide, and extra wide feet, and will accommodate the shape of their foot condition no matter how low or high their arches are.
Let me tell you that the best shoes for women are the ones that suit your body mechanics and that provide you with the right amount of comfort and support. In addition, the best shoes for you will fit the shape of your feet perfectly, or you won’t be able to get any of the benefits that the shoes have to offer.
To give you a bit of background of myself, I have been working for a specialized shoe store for the last 10 years where I have been fitting women’s shoes and orthotics. Moreover, I have been helping women find the correct type of shoes and orthotics to reduce or fully eliminate the foot and leg pain that they were having. We specialize in women with foot and leg problems, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well.
For the last 3 years I have been helping women find the perfect pair of shoes for their feet online.
I always tell women them to remember one thing: It doesn’t matter how narrow or wide your feet are, there is always at least one particular shoe style out there that will fit the shape of your feet perfectly, and I will help you find it.
I will describe the best 3 shoe brands for women and the best shoe styles among those brands shortly, but if you are going to be buying your shoes online, you must be 100% sure of what your exact foot size is.

The Top 3 Shoe Brands – Asics, Brooks, and New Balance!
There are three particular shoe brands for women that have been consistent in manufacturing the best shoe styles for women. These shoe brands are Asics, Brooks and New Balance.
They all manufacture supportive, lightweight and durable shoes that are also available in different widths such as narrow, medium, wide, and extra wide.
ASICS ❤️
Asics is a brand that is known for manufacturing shoes with infused gel that offer more support to the feet and legs. Among this shoe brand, there are certain shoe styles that have more infused gel than others, and those are the styles I will show to you.
Additionally, Asics tends to make the most supportive, yet lightweight and flexible shoes for women. Most of their shoe come with infused gel which will help minimize the impact your feet and legs take every time they come in contact with the ground.
The Gel is perhaps the most prominent technology created by the brand, and almost all of Asics shoes consists of the Gel technology as one of the features.
Asics also provides several other important features, but I don’t want to get into too many technical terms. The most important thing you need to know about this shoe company is that it makes some of the most supportive, lightweight, breathable, and durable shoes.
This shoe brand will fit women with narrow, medium, and wide feet. If you have extra wide feet, I recommend choosing any of the New Balance shoe styles.
BROOKS ❤️
Brooks is a shoe brand that is known for using high-tech materials and that aims to provide comfort and confidence for all women. Their shoes have an innovative cushioning system that adapts to women from all sizes and speeds.
Their shoes have a rounded heel, an adaptable midsole, and its structure make it possible to distribute pressure evenly under foot.
Moreover, this brand has a modernized fit, that has engineered mesh and a 3D fit print upper, and a DNA cushioning that provides a soft underfoot without affecting its durability.
Also, you might find interesting to know that Brooks makes shoes with different levels of cushioning depending on the activity you will perform. Brooks has shoes that are made to give you an extra lift for in you stride. Plus, they are made from lightweight and flexible materials.
This shoe brand will fit women with medium, and wide feet. If you have extra wide feet, I recommend choosing any of the New Balance shoe styles.
NEW BALANCE ❤️
New Balance is a shoe brand also known for providing supportive shoes for the different types of activities. What makes these shoes top of the line? It’s not just the support that they provide, but the fact that they are deep and come in all different width sizes (including wide and extra wide), making these shoes the first choice when it comes to a “complicated foot”.
For example, if you are a woman with an extra wide foot and a high instep, New Balance shoes styles are always the way to go. However, New Balance will fit a woman with medium, wide, or extra wide feet, but they might not fit so good for a woman with narrow feet.
Furthermore, one of the greatest advantages of New Balance shoes is that you will be able to fit any type of insert or orthotic inside the shoes. New Balance tends to make the deepest and widest shoes, that is what makes them your to-go shoes for children, women, or men who wear orthotics.
This shoe brand will fit women with medium, wide, and extra wide feet. If you have narrow feet, I recommend choosing any of the Asics shoe styles.

The Best Shoe Brands for Women ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kindly note that I only review shoe styles that I have fitted before, since that is the only way for me to tell how well-made the shoes are, the amount of support that they provide, and how they fit.
I will break down the best shoe styles from each shoe brand that I described above.
Keep in consideration that shoes can run short, long, narrow, or wide, and depending on how they run you will need to adjust the size that you get for yourself.
You always want to wear a half a size longer of the size that you measure in the shoe measuring scale to prevent your toes from rubbing against the side or the front of the shoes.
Although…
If you measure a foot size 10 and the shoes fit “short”, then you will need to choose the shoe size 11 in order to allow enough sufficient room (a whole size longer instead of a half a size longer). On the other hand, if the shoes fit “long” then you will need to pick the same shoe size instead of going a half a size longer (since the shoes already fit long).
