Wide widths?

[nicolem3]

Ok, so I've been having some issues with my feet recently which prompted my podiatrist to recommend that I buy wide width shoes or at least shoes that run on the wider side. Also, pointy toes are out... Suggestions anyone for everyday shoes? (I've decided I will wear my perhaps not-so practical favorites now and again) I also have an affinity for platforms, so I welcome any thoughts!!

For everyday wear, I recommend Cole Haan G-Series. They're supercomfortable, have plenty of wiggle-room in the toe-box, and about 7 out of 10 models are quite cute. Of course, you can also look specifically for shoes that come in wide sizes (C or higher). Sesto Meucci is a brand that comes to mind in that respect--and their shoes are available everywhere, any big department store, and also online. It's a good quality brand, at middle-of-the road prices ($100-150/pair). Joseph Seibel and some Donald Pliners may also fit the bill.

If you can find them, I can't speak highly enough about Theresia M shoes. They're extremely comfortable, have lots of support, and give you plenty of width in the toe box. However, the company doesn't seem to have much in the way of online sales, and what you can find online now is mostly older stuff that looks pretty orthopedic.

For everyday shoes, if you have having a lot of foot problems, I would recommend Birkenstocks - great prices at Fox Valley Birkenstock, Discount Birenstock Shoes and Sandals. Another great choice would be Keen or Dansko. Dansko makes casual and dress shoes and is coming out with a great line of dress shoes with orthodics built in them for fall. Go to ShoePeddlers.com - Mens Shoes and Womens Shoes including Comfortable Shoes and Footwear and see there selection.
Go comfy during the day and you should be able to wear your heels when you go out with not too many problems
