Question: With more than 25% of people in the UK reporting they have wide feet, why should we sacrifice style over comfort?
Answer: You don’t have to! With Vionic, you can enjoy stylish, wide fit shoes that look as good as they feel!
Over half of us in the UK say our feet have widened as we have matured – whether it’s genetic and you were born with wide feet or they have widened due to pregnancy, age or something else. But rest assured, you are not alone.
Who hasn’t coveted a pair of shoes and bought them, even though they are way too narrow, meaning you’ve worn them and regretted the decision or they’ve ended up at the back of the wardrobe and have never been worn?
Cramming your feet into ill-fitting shoes is never a good idea, no matter how much you like the style. It will only result in painful feet and, potentially, long term damage. Feet come in all sizes and wearing correctly fitting shoes is essential for people with wider feet, otherwise it can lead to problems such as bunions, calluses and hammertoes.
At Vionic, we’ve broadened our range of wider fitting footwear even further this season, with styles to suit every wardrobe. Choose from the following styles, which we at Vionic strongly believe are the best wide fit shoes in the UK! Explore Vionic’s comfort-first, stylish footwear made for every fit:
Ankle boots for wider feet
You don’t have to compromise style over comfort with Vionic shoes, with every pair of boots, shoes, trainers, heels, flats or sandals having VIO-MOTION support, with a cupped heel for support, arch support and cushioning under the ball of the foot, helping you achieve total body balance.
Take, for instance, (from left to right above), the Abby, Carissa and Catina. Whether you’re navigating city streets or weekend getaways, these boots blend effortless style with all-day comfort.
Knee high boots for wider feet
When winter bites, stay warm and stylish in the Rochelle – a casual tall boot with flat heel construction, hardware detail with decorative buckle and strap detailing, a full side zipper for easy on and off and 30% recycled rubber outsole for durability and traction. You can see this season’s range of boots here.
As with all Vionic footwear, a biomechanically-designed footbed for comfort keeps you in motion. The built-in VIO MOTION Technology footbed features contoured arch support, with shock-absorbing cushioning, deep heel cup to provide stability and forefoot flexibility. The exclusive alignment technology balances the whole you – in every pair of Vionic.
Trainers for wider feet
If you have wider feet and are in the market for trainers, Vionic has you covered with styles like the Kearny II lace-up, Walk Max II and another stylish trainer in Vionic’s Walk, the Skyline – each of which styled for the wider foot, taking you comfortably, wherever you roam! See our full range of trainers and wide fit walking shoes for women here – and also for men here.
Flat shoes for wide feet
Mocha brown is one of the hottest colours of the season and you’ll see these tones throughout Vionic’s autumn/winter25 collection – including in our super stylish Willa 2.0 – which comes in buttery soft driftwood suede (above). Just because you have wider feet, there’s no reason why you should miss out on the trend. See more Vionic flats here.
Heels and wedges for wide feet
A wider foot doesn’t mean a flat ‘no’ to a bit of height – with styles like the Chardonnay (a Vionic Vital) to choose from. Pick your heeled styles for seasonal parties wisely and make sure you’re comfortable before you buy. Hard, stiff leather and fabrics may rub the wide foot, so it’s worth spending a little more to find a good show that’s going to go the extra mile for you.
Vionic has a 30 day returns policy – so you can try them and send back if you’re not 100% happy – even if your shoes have been worn.
