6 Best and Most Comfortable Shoes Made for Wide Feet

Obviously, the New Balance 990v6s are staples on nearly every sneaker list, but we appreciate the brand even more for its attention to different foot shapes, sizes, and needs. These 990s are the classics we know and love—all that's different is the sizing. These come in black, gray, and navy colorways, in sizes 7-15, widths regular, wide, and extra wide.
We love On's sneakers for their comfort and durability, and one of the brand's best-selling styles is redone for wide feet. The Cloudsurfer Wide features a cushiony, supportive fit, with a breathable mesh upper and a cradle-shaped construction that supports your foot every step of the way. Run in them, walk in them, wear 'em with your best techy or athletic gear.

Hoka's Clifton 10 are the iconic athletic shoes that we love: Hoka's cloud-like support, a stretchy breathable upper, and as good for walking as for standing as for running. The cushiony design with wide and X-wide options is perfect for wide feet, particularly those standing or walking for long periods of time. Wear them as everyday shoes, running shoes, or travel shoes. They are beloved for a reason, and that reason is because they rule.
For a slimmer, sleeker pair that you can wear for sporty endeavors and day-to-day errands alike, Oliver Cabell has you covered. These leather low-top shoes come in Regular and Wide fits, with hidden supportive details inside. They are meant to be supportive shoes without looking supportive. Inside, a custom footbed, roomy toebox, and comfortable 3mm heel drop.

One of our all-time favorites, the Vans Sk8-Hi is just one of the most reliable shoes you can get to wear year in and year out. They take little to no time to break in, are easy to style, and just look good with many outfit types. For those wide-footed folks who might usually struggle to find a high-top that works for them, these are a solid choice. They're well-priced, too, at an easy $75. Though, we'd recommend inserts; the flat Vans style doesn't offer a ton of support.
For wide-foot-friendly running shoes, the Ascis' Gel-Nimbus are extremely good. They have a ton of cushion but neutral support (best for normal or high arches) in a surprisingly lightweight structure. Up top, a super soft and stretchy upper and padded knit collar. In addition to actually running, they're also great for proverbially "running around all day."
