Shoe Width: The Facts

When it comes to width, shoes can be categorized into three types – narrow, regular and wide. But how do you know which type is right for your feet? A few simple tricks will help you determine the width of your feet for easy selection of the best shoes! Here’s how:

1. Stand up straight, with the back against the wall, toes touching it. Make sure that both feet are parallel to each other.

2. Place a book between your heels with the spine facing you. The distance between the spine and the wall gives us an idea of the shoe width that’s right for your feet.

3. Another method is to spread your toes flat on a piece of paper, making sure they don’t touch each other while keeping any pressure off your heels or balls of your feet. Using a pencil, draw a line over them at their widest point, with every toe touching the paper while it bends naturally at the base as shown in picture given below.

4. If the line is bent at the base, it means that you’re a narrow width, while one where every toe touches the paper is wide.

5. Get your feet measured at a store like Shoezeeker or your local shop. You may even want to check out your local shoe store or shoe repair shop which might have other methods of measuring your widths available as well.

6. You can also choose a width based on the shape of your foot by wearing a sock onto which you’ve rolled a piece of paper as mentioned in tip #3 above.

Mark on the paper with a pencil or pen, then cut it according to your foot’s width and try fitting into different shoes.
