Frequently Asked Questions
Should I size up if I have wide feet?
Sizing up can leave too much room at the front of the shoe, leading to toe jamming. It is always better to find a shoe that comes in a specific 'Wide' (D for women, 2E for men) or 'Extra Wide' (4E) designation.
Which brands are best for wide feet?
New Balance is the industry leader for wide widths. K-Swiss shoes also tend to run wider than Nike or Adidas, making them a favorite for players who need more room.
Do wide shoes offer less support?
Not at all. A wide shoe that fits properly actually provides a more stable base, as your foot isn't 'muffin-topping' over the edge of the midsole.
