“The boots fit my feet brilliantly from the first time wearing, however, the cuffs took a week to break in. Overall happy with my purchase and wouldn't hesitate to reorder. Communication and delivery spot on. Would recommend.”
“Success. Having tried two different pairs of shoes from another company to try and get shoes for my brother-in-law who has Oedema, I found a pair of shoes which fitted and he is extremely happy. Thank you.”
“The service from Wide Shoes was very good - very quick dispatch and delivery. However I am very disappointed with the Sketchers Wide trainers. They were advertised as being suitable for bunions. When I tried them on they were very comfortable but after wearing them for a six hour shift on my feet, my bunions were in terrible pain and have been for a few days since. The shoes were wide enough so I’m not sure what caused the pain. As I have worn them, I cannot return them, but can’t possibly wear them again. Will stick to Fitflops in future.”
Hello Faye,
I am sorry to read that you found the trainers you purchased uncomfortable.
That trainer is a 2E width fitting, and it seems this is not wide enough to accommodate your bunion. If you are looking at wide fitting footwear again in the future I would recommend looking at a wider width such as a 4E or 4V fitting. This fitting gives more room around the ball of the foot and will be able to offer relief to larger or more protruding bunions.
Kind regards,
Delores
“I have just bought my first pair of Wideload walking boots. They arrived promptly and were exactly as described. My feet are very wide with high arches and these boots fitted perfectly.
I will definitely be back. Cheers.”
“The shoes fit perfectly nice wide toe and would have been great but for the weight and flexibility. There hard to walk in and after 10 hours in them my feet are killing me.
I've had to try another brand because there also difficult to drive in. Doesn't help having size twelve flippers for feet. 😖”
“Fantastic boots. I’m an engineer involved in site work. I wouldn’t say my feet are particularly wide, but standard boots are far too narrow, and the toe cap always rubs against my toes. I see loads of people hobbling around site because there’s a general attitude that you should just toughen up — despite health and safety regulations clearly stating that PPE must fit properly.
It’s also no good having boots that hold your ankle rigid and restrict movement. Our ankles are designed to move, and if that movement is blocked, the strain just transfers to the knees instead.
This is my second pair of these boots, and I’ve worn them every day for the past two years.”
