Are you looking for high heels in a wide size? This might not be an easy task, but I can assure you I’ll walk you through a targeted selection of the best wide high heels for women.
Not all shoe companies manufacture shoes that can accommodate wider feet, specially wide high heel shoes (“W”, “EE”). Wide, extra-wide, and even extra-extra-wide shoes can be a lifesaver for people with wide or swollen feet and for those who suffer from foot conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, or corns.
Bear in mind that even within the same shoe company that offers wide widths, some of their shoe styles may fit differently, so it is important to do some research to make a more informed decision.
Note that simply choosing a shoe that is available in wide widths and hoping that it will fit the shape of your wide feet is not enough. You can have two shoes that are available in wide widths, but one might be a lot wider than the other and fit your feet better.
My Experience in Fitting Women Shoes
Prior to getting into more detail, I would like to rest assure you that I’ll help you in the search for the best high shoes for you based on my many years of experience in fitting shoes, including dealing with different sizes, widths, and foot conditions. I will share with you my go-to selection for the most comfortable high heels for women with wide feet.
I have to realize that it really doesn’t matter that you find the “ideal” shoe for you, if you don’t buy it in the correct shoe size, you will miss out on the features and benefits that the shoe has. You don’t have to adapt your feet to fit into the shoe, instead, the shoe must fit your feet perfectly!
What Makes the High Heels that I Recommend Ideal for Women with Wide Feet?
The high heels that I recommend are available in wide (W) and extra wide (X-Wide) widths, which makes them ideal for women with wide feet. You will notice that the high heels provide extra depth and rounded toe-boxes. Take a look at the image below, do you notice how the high heel is available in wide widths? I will provide you with a link to this specific shoe shortly.
Are You Sure You Know Your Correct Shoe Size and Width?
We should never underestimate our shoe size and/or width or think that specific shoe size will work for all shoe styles or brands. Many times, we don’t realize that we buy shoes in the wrong shoe size/width, probably thinking this should fit because they are in the “correct” shoe size.
This is specially a problem if you are searching and buying shoes online. In fact, I’ve noticed that many women buy larger shoes when in fact most of the times they just needed wider shoes. Shoes that are available in wide widths are variations of normal-sized shoes where the overall length is the same, but the toe box width is increased to accommodate wider feet.
Before we delve into the selection of high heel shoes for women with wide feet, please allow me to suggest that you get your feet measured with a Brannock Device. You might be surprised by the outcome!

The important thing is that you find out for sure so you be can certain that you are buying and using the right shoes for your feet.
