All feet are different, so each shoe must be tried on to etermine true comfort. Fortunately, some of the best women’s travel shoes are made in to fit wide and narrow feet, so it won't be a pain to find comfortable shoes online.
Shoes for Walking
Women with wide feet learn from their mistakes, like finding out canvas wedges will never conform to one's feet. Most gals with big feet need something that will stretch out where the little toes live. And, women with narrow feet have a different problem: they need to find shoes that will stay on.
Women's Shoes Wide Feet
The cute SoftWalk Mariangela Slide can be worn with slacks, jeans, skirts, and shorts (though no shorts in Europe, where they are verboten for anyone over 29, or in Paris, over 10). The nubuck leather upper on these slides is quite soft, which is rocking for gals with wide feet, because it stretches over time. Nubuck is like suede, only stronger and more expensive. Info for this cute wide sandal:
- Sizes: AA, B, D, EE
- 2 inch wedge heel
- Comfortable footbed
- Easy slide off for airport security
- Lightweight in luggage - 8oz.
- Goring at the toe and instep for flex
Many women find they can wear these puppies right out of the box, with no break-in period. The only thing which might be problematic with the Softwalk Mariangela is the toe thong, but a gal can wear these at home, for a bit, to check this out. Toe thongs are sexy and hip, so it’s worth a try.
Wide Women's Sandal
Two good things for wide feet are fit and shock-absorbing soles. So thank Clarks for these (almost flat) cute walking shoes, the Clarks Longmeadow sandal.
- AA, B, D - they run wide
- 3/4 inch heel - cushioning wedge
- Adjustable buckles
- Leather upper
- 8oz
The only complaint is that the straps at the buckle may need a few extra holes. Any shoe repair shop can punch more. This Clarks sandal is fab for wide feet on a long vacation.
Extra Wide Shoes
Gals with very wide feet may find hope with the Propet Eve Walker, a traditional style Mary Jane. It’s just as cute as the shoe that little girls wear, only it’s made out of brown or black leather, not patent leather.
- B, D, EE, EEEE
- Adjustable Velcro style closure on the strap
- Medial arch stabilizer
- Two layers of removable memory foam cushioning
- Good traction sole
- 11 oz.
Well, this is not the most beautiful stylish shoe, but it comes in better sizes than those little Jimmy Choos. Besides, a gal can divert attention from her feet with a cute travel hat.
Women with problem feet and orthotics, or naturally wide dogs, can cheer for Propet. Mary Janes are cute with jeans, slacks, skirts, and travel dresses. Say goodbye to uncomfortable skinny shoes forever!
Ladies' Shoes for Narrow Feet
The charming SoftWalk Jupiter Mary Janes are crafted of soft kid or nubuck upper and are great for narrow feet. Wearers rave about their orthopedically designed cushion, and the adjustable strap which helps them stay on narrow feet.
- AAA, AA, B, D, EE
- A narrow fit
- Sole contours to the foot
Cute Dressy Sandal
Clarks Lucena Sandal is an almost flat dressy sandal, with a padded footbed. These sweet little things are more feminine than the Softwalk Jupiter sandal, and are beautiful on narrow feet. Keep these away from friends.
- AA, B, D, XW
- Slight 1 1/4 inch wedge heel
- Two Velcro-style straps to hold them on snugly
- 8 oz.
Sandals for Walking
These SoftWalk Pixley sandals are comfort sandals with a heel, but part of the height is platform. They are great dress or casual shoes for gals who want height and a bit of padding, but need a narrow width.
- AA, B, D
- Order before gone
- 2 3/4 inch wedge heel
- Adjustable strap
Some of the best women’s travel shoes in wide widths and narrow widths are: SoftWalk, Clarks, and Propet Walkers. Sandals work with jeans and skirts. Maryjanes are cute with everything, especially when worn with tights or stockings for dresses. Look around for these travel shoes to find the best price. And, don't forget the sun hat.
