The Wide World of Womens Shoes

Cinderella knew the secret to a great pair of shoes. Every foot is unique, and no single shoe is perfect for every woman. Like palms and fingerprints, every foot has individual qualities. Some are short and slender, while others are wide and flat.

Forward-thinking shoe manufacturers have turned to science, creating more comfortable, specially-designed shoes to meet the needs of all women. As a result, women of all sizes can enjoy new designs and trendy styles.

Women with wide feet cannot, and should not, be expected to suffer in shoes designed for their slender-footed counterparts. All women deserve no less than comfort and style, and smart shoe companies are finally beginning to see the light. There are now women's wide-width shoes from everyone from athletes to brides, office workers to women who love to dance the night away.

Virtually every style of shoe is available in wide widths, from sandals and pumps to loafers and steel-toe job-rated shoes. There are hundreds of online retailers and boutiques offering all types of shoes, including the relatively new category of wide-width shoes for women. A quick online search will deliver the Internet homes of Zappos, Lane Bryant and Maryland Square.

You'll find terrific websites, like shoes.com and designershoes.com. It's just a sample of the many online shops selling virtually every variety of wide-width shoes for women seeking fashionable styles and colors.

Popular Wide Width Brands

Most every renowned shoe company uses the scientific structure of a woman's foot to design and create a truly comfortable shoe. As a result, wide-width shoes for women are now offered by many popular brand names. A Marinelli is a designer label that has recently introduced the Brook, Carolina, Cathie and Corina styles in wide widths. Anne Klein, another very successful brand, offers women's wide width shoes in the Bailey, Beril, Bryon, Cleo, Fanny, Cabos and Preston styles.

When listing the well-known brands that offer women's wide width shoes, it would be remiss to exclude names like Hush Puppies, Adidas, Jessica Bennette, Ros Hommerson, New Balance and La Canadienne. Sesto Mucci, Walking Cradles, Dino Monti, Jennifer B., J. Renee, Dani Black, Via Spiga and Soft Style are other popular choices. These brands, and others, have acquired tremendous response on the world market through the online sales.

Wide Width Styles

It doesn't matter what type of style you're looking for; you'll find it in a wider width. Those days of settling with only wide-width casual shoes are long gone. Now, women with wider feet can find great looking dressy and athletic shoes, boots, sandals, slippers and work-related styles.

Once upon a time, wide-footed women tried to force their feet into shoes made for their petite-feet sisters. Or, worse still, they would have to wear clunky men's styles. Now, all women can look and feel beautiful in shoes made just for them. Talk about living happily ever after!
