Kathleen ★★★★★ Editor's Verdict: Individuals with wider, larger feet often experience more discomfort and pain in their arches simply due to there being more surface area for nerve and tendon damage to occur on.

Why Do Wide Insoles Exist?Wide insoles exist because not all shoe sizes are created equally. Because shoe sizes are predominantly determined by the length of the foot and shoe, width is often an after thought, making it hard or even impossible for individuals with particularly wide feet to trust traditional shoe sizes. Wide insoles use the same UK or EU sizes but they are built to accommodate wider feet, allowing you to shop with confidence. It's as simple as that. How Do I Know If I Have Wide Feet?Wide feet are fairly common. It can however, be a little difficult to work out if you actually do have them or not. If you've had a look at our recommendations and aren't sure if you need wide insoles, we recommend measuring your feet. To do this, simply:
If your measurement is larger than what's identified in the "wide" column, you have wide feet. If you do need wide insoles, have another look at our recommendations section. Women's Shoe Sizes
