When I mentioned to my mom that I’d be gathering a list of the best shoes for wide feet she lamented the fact that, for decades, there were not a lot of options available to her. And definitely not any stylish ones. Luckily for her, and anyone else looking to find a little extra wiggle room in their footwear, more and more brands have been embracing wide sizing, even designing shoes for broad feet that are downright cool. The eight brands on this list all offer a multitude of styles in wide widths (including sizes C and D)—some even come in the extra wide measurements of E or 2E—that are chic, comfortable and right on trend for 2020.

Munro
This Arkansas-based company was one of the first brands to venture into wide widths over 50 years ago. Munro focuses on making comfortable, cute kicks with an impeccable fit—even going so far as having an extensive fit guide on its website. To this day Munro makes shoes in a whopping 19 sizes (from 4 to 11 in whole and half sizes, and whole sizes from 12 to 14) as well as five different widths, so you can be sure your shoes feel just right.

1. munro Harrison Ii Bit Loafers
Just like a little black dress or classic trench coat, these simple black loafers will never be out of style. But it also doesn’t hurt that loafers are one of the biggest shoe trends of 2020.
2. munro Finley Booties
Lace-up booties are another hot style, but we think this luxe-looking burgundy faux-croc is special enough to stand out from the pack.
3. munro Sandi Sneakers
This sporty sneaker will look just as good with a floral midi dress as it will with your favorite leggings and a cozy oversize knit.
Vionic
Founded by Phillip J. Vasyli., a podiatrist, Vionic is all about designing stylish shoes that just so happen to be supportive. This includes an emphasis on the proper fit, which explains why the brand offers four different widths: narrow, medium, medium/wide and wide. Vionic also touts a varied (albeit impressive) group of celebrities fans, including Kristen Cavallari, Alexa Chung and Oprah all singing its praises.

Clarks
Clarks has been crafting shoes for almost 200 years, making the brand one of the most respected (and well-developed) in the biz. The company has partnered with engineers, podiatrists and other foot experts to gain a thorough understanding of what our feet need to be happy and healthy. Clarks recently began offering wide widths for their most popular styles, with the promise to add more soon.

The supple leather of these minimalist flats will mold and adjust to your feet, providing even more comfort than a sturdier, wide-width pair.
Asos
If unique designs, funky colors and a price point under $100 is what you’re looking for, ASOS’s got your back. Or, uh, feet. The U.K.-based retailer offers both wide and extra wide styles from a number of brands, such as Simply Be, River Island, Public Desire and Raid, in addition to its own in-house collection. Pro tip: If you see something you like, pick it up ASAP. Hot new styles tend to sell out fairly quickly, especially in specialty sizes.

10. Asos Angelo Lace-up Hiker Boots
Who needs basic Timberlands when you can pick up this funky pair with crisscrossed straps across the front?
11. Asos Kennedy Flat Knee Boots
Stuart Weitzman does offer wide widths for some of its classic styles, including its incredibly popular over-the-knee boots but more on that later. For those who’d rather save than splurge on designer kicks, this ASOS style is just as stylish—but about one tenth the cost.
12. Asos Hattie Mid-heeled Mule Sandals
The pale blue hue works for both summer and winter, evoking images of cloudless summer afternoons and frozen icicles.
13. asos Dizzy Lace-up Sneakers

Dr. Scholl’s
Another doctor-founded and podiatrist-approved brand, Dr. Scholl’s is well known for its all-encompassing range of footcare products, including insoles and shoes that are good for your feet. The fact that Jackie O. was a massive fan also provides a heavy dose of fashion cred. Not every style from the brand comes in wide widths, but there are still plenty of trendy and classic designs to choose from.

14. Dr. Scholl’s Madison Sneakers
You can never go wrong with a simple black sneaker. That said, we’re partial to a more detailed croc-embossed style for a little extra pop.

We’re kind of obsessed with the dainty lace pattern on these easy ankle boots. And we love how well they pair with even the most delicate summer frocks or textured knits for winter.
16. Dr. Scholl’s Dakota Wedge Booties
The lace-up detailing at the front gives you additional flexibility when to comes to fit, so you can adjust for bunions or swollen ankles.
Stuart Weitzman
Beyond just stunning, fashion-forward footwear, Stuart Weitzman is known for making shoes that are beautifully crafted, long-lasting and that fit like a glove. So, we were incredibly excited to discover that many of Stuart Weitzman’s most popular styles, as well as some newer pieces, now come in wide widths. For now, it appears the extended-sizing selection is limited, but the company has promised that it will continue to expand its options.
