As we get older, our feet get wider and an added complication is that many people develop bunions (this is now known to be down to genetics and not wearing the wrong footwear). Many high fashion brands don't come in wider sizes, and until recently the styles on offer veered to the 'comfy' rather than the stylish. Here are the ones available in the UK that I have discovered.
- James Inglis Collections from Italy and USA. Free specialist fitting service. Extra narrow to extra wide widths. Sizes 4 to 10 including 1/2 sizes.
- Van-Dal Width fittings are slightly more generous than usual. Van Dal 'D' fit is wider than the average high street shoe. Van-Dal E fit are classed as wide fitting. Van-Dal EE fit are wider again; they also tend to have a lower heel.
- Hotter Offer four width fittings - Slim, Standard, Wide and Extra Wide in UK whole and half sizes.
- Sole Bliss On-trend shoes for women with bunions, wide feet and sensitive soles. Initial range focused on heels, but now offer flats, sandals and trainers.
