If you've ever drooled over glamorous looking shoes in a shop window only to turn away in despair because you know your extra-wide feet would never fit into them, take heart! There's no need to endure the agony of ill-fitting shoes simply because they look good or they're the latest in the fashion mags. Most women and some men too believe in the adage “No pain, no gain” so they're willing to put up with a certain amount of discomfort and pain if they feel they look smart and stylish.

But uncomfortable shoes are not only painful but they can be a real health hazard. Tissues located at the bottom of your feet can become squeezed and inflamed, causing damage to this delicate area and result in long-term heel pain. Bunions, corn and calluses are caused by constant friction and can be extremely painful and ugly-looking. If you persist in wearing ill-fitting shoes, you could cause permanent and irreversible changes to the shape of your feet, making them misshapen and bent. Claw-feet, hammer-toes and ingrown toenails are some of the side-effects, while fungal attacks, swelling of the feet, skin allergies and rashes could be some of the immediate result of wearing badly fitting shoes.



Today there are plenty of options available for people with wider feet. These shoes are available from the big designers as well as your local shoe store and come in the latest styles, colors and designs. With matching purses, hand-bags and clutches, belts and other accessories, you no longer have to look like a de-glamorized granny. Shoe styles in wider fits follow all the seasonal and couture trends. So whether it's strappy sandals, wedge heels, peep-toes, stilettos, pumps, office-wear, walking shoes, trainers, summer and beach shoes, ballerinas, boots, flats or flip flops that you're looking for, rest assured you'll find them in your size.

Many companies offer wider fits on-line and you can enjoy the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your home when you shop on the Net. Most of these websites also provide foot-measurement guides, color options and a variety of payment choices too. Other choices may include shoes made for wider calf measurements too, which will give the wearer comfort and stability. Features like seam-free toe areas ensure that the problem of rubbing and chafing is eliminated, a variety of fabrics and materials, whether leather or synthetic and options for mismatched sized feet are also available.


So, step out in style in your wide fitting shoes and no one will guess your secret!
