Womens wider footwear

Its a sad, sad fact that things become wider as we age. Even our feet experience a little extra girth as we get olds. Wide womens shoes are designed to help us ease into the most current fashions with comfort and style. This footwear is a must-have for any lady who has experienced pregnancy or who has experienced a significant number of years on foot.

Ladies who work in fields like nursing and waiting tables know all too well that these jobs can wreak havoc on the feet. The many hours of standing and the toll of carrying extra weight while serving food or delivering linens can actually make our feet spread over time. Wide womens shoes are available so that we can work in comfort.

I discovered that I was having great trouble wearing my regular size foot wear during pregnancy. Between the extra pounds and the water retention I had to look for wide womens shoes to help carry the burden. Moving to the next size up was not an option for me because I am hopelessly clumsy.

It may surprise some people that ladies would wear the wrong size just to feel a little more comfortable but we have been known to do just that. Narrow or regular shoes are just too painful to wear and when there is no selection of wide womens shoes on the market, we find other alternatives.

The other alternatives are really unsafe because our feet are not really longer than usual. They are just wider. When we purchase bigger sizes to accommodate the girth of the feet we find ourselves tripping over extra material at the toes. This extra space usually winds up under toe and this can be a major tripping hazard.

Fortunately, many footwear manufacturers have adopted wide womens shoes into their designs. While the wider varieties do not always offer as many options as the normal sized counterparts there is still quite a nice selection of wide womens shoes on the market.

Certain styles and fashions are simply not suitable for wider footwear. The trendy pointy toed footwear would look disproportionate an awkward in wide womens shoes. It may be difficult or even impossible to find this trend in wider varieties. There is good reason for this. The design just doesnt give way to the extra girth needed. The pointy toe would just be too contrasting to look right.

The good news is that there are plenty of other fashionable styles available on the market. Wide womens shoes are in great demand and that is reflected in their emergence into the fashion industry over the years.
