Wide fitting feet? High arches? Bunions? There’s no such thing as the ‘average foot’, while we are all encouraged to learn our shoe size, our foot width is often over-looked. Did you know that almost 50% of the UK population are wearing ill-fitting shoes? So, we’re on a mission to lower the figures and make life more comfortable (and stylish of course).
Wearing the wrong width of trainers will not only feel uncomfortable but can cause lasting damage to your feet, poor fitting shoes can disrupt your natural walking pattern, putting strain on other areas of your body like your knees and back. So, when it comes to finding your next pair the question you need to ask is how should your trainers fit?
How to measure for wide fit trainers
UK width fits are sized differently between men and women, so it’s best to understand the width fits that are available for you and to determine the most appropriate fit for your feet, this guide will explain everything that you need to know.
It’s important to understand that the shape of your feet can directly affect how a pair of shoes fit, for example broad feet will require a wide fit shoe with a roomy toe box and those with high arches will require a contoured insole with padded arch support and adjustable fastenings for a more flexible fit.

Wide Fitting Top Tips
- If you are trying your trainers on in a store, it’s best to visit at the end of the day where possible this is because your feet will be at their widest so you can ensure a more accurate and comfortable fit.
- Trainers too big? Add an additional insole to your shoe for a tailored fit, or should you struggle with swollen feet you can interchange additional inlays and insoles to modify the fit.
