20 Best Women’S Wide Width Sandals (2023 Updated)

Finally decided to buy a new pair of sandals after nursing along my falling-apart old Tevas for over ten years. I’d heard a lot of people rave about Chacos and decided to give them a try, especially since Teva no longer seems to make the same model of sandal I had before (booo).

There’s a lot to like: the buckle/strap tightening method doesn’t wear out over time like velcro, the straps are adjustable, the footbed seems very durable and has arch support, and the company will repair them for you so you don’t have to keep rubber-cementing the soles back on yourself or buy a new pair.

Alas, for me they were simply unwearable. My feet are on the narrower side, and although the heel of the sandal is highly contoured, it was very loose on me. Combined with how heavy the footbed is, this made it move around a lot while walking.

I felt like I had to keep the straps pretty tight to keep the soles from flopping around on my feet, which made it really hard to get out the pebbles that inevitably make their way in, and difficult to get the sandals on and off.

The other major problem was the strap across the instep. The way it cuts across my foot makes it move a lot when I walk, so that it rubs A LOT. I’m used to sandals needing a break-in period – those old trusty Tevas of mine gave me gnarly blisters the first time I wore them – so at first I figured they just needed some time.

However, the problem did not get better. After wearing them on a camping weekend where they rubbed off a huge patch of skin under the strap, I had enough. I’m pretty bummed that these didn’t work out – as I said before, there’s a lot I like about them in theory, but in practice they were just too uncomfortable for me.

These sandals were cute, and I enjoyed pairing them with outfits for the aesthetics. However, after about 4 months of wearing them, I continually got blisters on the sides of my feet. This was after FOUR months and well after the break in period.

I tried adjusting the straps, changing foot position, etc. But nothing worked. In addition, the straps on the sides of the shoes are way too long and will drag along the floor for those with smaller feet.

You can cut them, but I didn’t, as I hadn’t decided if I liked them yet. And I wouldn’t have been able to return them if I did. Eventually, I just stopped reaching for them. They’re a pain to put on, and just ultimately uncomfortable.

I gave these sandals the old college try because people rave about them and I was told that they take a while to get used to and develop calluses. For the first few days I wore them, they were insanely uncomfortable and I had hot spots on my big toes and also developed blisters and calluses on my heel where the strap ties into the sole.

I figured I was over the hump, but I was wrong. I would wear them to work, just to make sure that my feet were staying used to them and maintaining my calluses. I wore them one day for about a 3 mile walk and my feet were absolute destroyed and I had cut marks on the tops of my feet and the front and back of my feet and ankles.

The straps continued to move and tighten even though I walked through dirt to get them ‘stuck in place. ‘ I also believe that due to the constant tightening of the straps, the sandals lead me to develop very minor metatarsalgia between my big and second toes which resolved quickly after I stopped wearing the sandals.

I am sorry, but these things are absolutely horrible and are without a doubt the least comfortable footwear I have ever owned. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone and I returned them to the store after a few months of ownership.

I purchased a pair of these sandals 2 summers ago, at another store, and love how they fit. Saw them on QVC 2 weeks ago, on sale, and immediately bought 2 more pairs. Glad that I had already owned a pair, so I knew that I needed to size down, from my normal shoe size.

I wear size 8 in my normal shoe sizes such as Skechers, but when tried on the first pair I bought in the store, I had to go down to size 7. The sandal fits from the top of my toes to the back of my heel, without being too long.

The fit is snug enough to not slip off my feet when walking. The criss cross on the top is also snug enough, but still comfy. Love the light gray color the best, and also bought the black with the pink floral pattern.

The black looks more navy to me, even under the bright lamp. Noticed that with another pair of knit Skechers I bought last summer, the black knit looks too much like dark navy instead. Oh well, for a comfy pair of sandals, I can’t complain too much.

lol.

I absolutely love these Skecher sandals! I suffered with plantar fasciitis for over a year. I had podiatrist appointments and physiotherapy and the only brand I wore and will continue to wear are Skechers.

I was hesitant to wear sandals because I worried about the support without my orthotics. I never should have second guessed footwear by Skechers. I have been able to wear the On the Go sandals daily! They give my feet the support they need and the sandals are so comfortable to wear.

I have been asked more than once where I got the sandals. Kudos to Skechers for another success.

I have owned this styles for as long as they’ve been out. I absolutely LOVE them. I recently ordered a pair to replace some that I’ve worn out. The newest ones arrived and literally won’t stay on my feet because they are way too wide.

I did not order the wide width and double checked the box and sandals to be sure. Unfortunately these have to be returned – and I’m finding them harder and harder to get. Very disappointing. I’ve tried the other similar slides with elastic tops and they are too wide as well.

Something must have changed in the manufacturing end.

I love this sandal! I wear a 9. 5 wide, WW is too big. It looks so great on my feet. I originally brought the red, but just couldn’t wear it with everything so I had to go back and buy the black. When I realized how great they looked, I went back and bought the tan as well.

Directly out of the box these shoes fit enough to wear all day long in style. If they had them in the navy I would have them as well. Dresses up every outfit.

I ordered this in 2 pairs. The upper lining on the right heel on both pairs is coming off. Also the heels feel like they have a rock in the middle of them. I’m sad because I have very wide feet and it’s so difficult to find truly wide shoes.

The uppers on these is very roomy and very soft. Love the upper so much I tried to figure out a way to have a shoe cobbler attach them to a better base.

Gorgeous sandal, I just turned 80 and I still appreciate a nice sexy shoe. Very attractive to the eye and very comfortable. What else can you ask for? Oh, and you can’t beat the price!! ??????

SO cute and comfy. They definitely feel higher end. I typically order a size 7. 5, but sometimes size up to an 8 in sandals (Tory Burch miller sandals for example). I only order a size 7 in shoes that run big (Dr Martens, Uggs, Converse, etc).

Other reviews said to size down and I was skeptical but SO glad that I did. If you’re in between sizes, definitely size down! As far as the width, I think it’s perfect. So unless you have REALLY wide feet and 99% of regular shoes are uncomfortable for you, order the normal width.

Overall, such great shoes for the price and now I want them in more colors!.

I bought this in my normal size 9 but I noticed I had to much room left at the front, ordered an 8 and it was fine on the right foot but the braided strap on the left sandal was super tight. I went to Walmart to see if I could find a pair that was comfortable on both feet and I found them.

So, long story short the braided strap on some of these sandals are more narrow than on others. I ended up sizing down to an 8, I wore them today and I can say they are comfortable but in my opinion run 1 size big.

I bought these 4 years ago in white and yellow!! I wear my sandals hard!! They are up to the challenge. Even the white one s til look good after all these years of wear and tear. They have been on every vacation and every girls night out!!! Very comfortable.

They do run a bit big though so you can size down a half size if you want. Enjoy them!!!.

I love these sandals. I wear them with everything. So incredibly comfortable with a soft strap for comfort. Size seems to be true. Soul is non-slip for safety. I love these so much that I bought them in several colors.

I have SUPER WIDE feet (at least 4in wide) and it is truly difficult to find shoes wide enough, even the WW, and for my calves their a solid 19. 5. I will attach a photo of my foot so ya’ll have an idea of how wide my foot is so that you can beleive these shoes do fit even my size.

So to all the ladies out there who have trouble I completely understand ya. These actually do fit nicely, I’m not squeezed into them, I can slide my feet in and out nicely. The little extra expansion stretch it has is nice, especially when the feet start to inflame a little.

They are actually very comfy for a sandal (to that I am shocked). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 ONLY because I was expecting them to be a little wider. Not that they are not super wide but that because I bought WW, i was hopin they would be a little too wide :-).

But I am happy and when money rolls in again im getting another pair in a different color.

I wear Alegria Seville ONLY due to heel Spurs in my past (surgery removed) and more recently a broken left leg and severe left knee damage due to being hit by a car as a pedestrian. I work 12 hr nights at our local hospital and the Seville is the only shoe I can wear in total comfort, I wanted another shoe to wear around my home and these are perfect! Comfortable, well fitting and loose enough to accommodate swelling in the left foot.

The only thing I can say is I wish they had a little more padding on the bottom and a tad more arch support but I can wear them with no problems and that is a great thing for me! I do recommend! I wear my normal size in these shoes and I’ll definitely buy another pair!.

This shoe is so comfortable! It’s my around-the-house shoe, and being retired and providing eldercare for my mother, I’m at home most of the time. I’m also very heavy, and that’s where my problem with this shoe comes in.

The sole is not very sturdy, and within about six months I have broken it down. Initially, they had adequate arch support, but that is gone and I have developed pain in my right foot arch. To be fair, I also purchased a pair of slippers with no arch support at all at the same time, and those have also contributed to the onset of this problem.

Ultimately, given the very reasonable price of these shoes and the amount of time I wore them, I feel that I got my money’s worth from them. Because they are so very comfortable, I’m purchasing another pair, along with another sturdier (and much more expensive) pair of slide sandals, and I will alternate them.

I bought the Traciee 2 in my regular size 7 medium. The size 7 medium in this open toe sandal was a half size too large for me. I returned it and reordered in size 6. 5 medium and the fit is much better.

I bought the Aqua color and love it. I liked it so much that I ordered another pair in the Black/White option to match with everything. Love the comfort and the nice color selection. I am very happy with this purchase.

I wore them to work for the first time the other day. I work in a retail setting. After 4hrs of wearing one of the straps broke and the lining under my foot came completely off. I had ordered a wide, and the wide was extra roomy so that’s not why it broke.

Very disappointed as these are supposed to be a good quality brand.

I decided to try these in a brown. Wearing flip flops all the time was starting to hurt because there isn’t much between you and the ground. When I first received them, I thought, no way, the soles are so hard.

But the more I wear them the better they feel. These are so much more comfortable than I thought they would be. I love wearing them. Give them a try!.

Cute design, but I was surprised that these ran small length-wise but bigger width-wise, since their price seems to suggest maybe a higher quality product. Therefore, my heel is making the “cork” on the back smush down a little on the edge.

Instead for the price, you get a lot of “virtue-signaling” literature included in the packaging. (eye roll).

I purchased the Emily sandals a couple of months ago because I wanted a camel-colored slide and I loved the puffy band. I also loved that the sandals are real leather so they will last longer than the cheap synthetic that everything seems to be made out of these days.

The cognac color was perfect, and being Hush Puppies, the sandals were as comfortable as I suspected. The only drawbacks are that they make a squishy sound when you walk due the the padded foot bed and they do not come in half sizes so you must decide to size up or down if you are a half size.

I sized up from a 9 1/2 to a 10 and the sandals were just slightly too long.

Try these on because they look so cushiony. They did not disappoint. They feel amazing so comfortable. Perfect for my extremely narrow foot and I don’t feel like I’m walking on the ground. Had to go up a size as they only come in whole sizes.

Usually go up in sandals anyway. Not appealing to have your foot hanging off your shoe. Haven’t worn them out yet to test the thong, but so far they are wonderful.

Super soft leather and foot bed. Nice color. However, the slippers are NARROW! I have regular feet and I’m having a hard time pushing my feet into the toe posts which leaves almost 1 inch space between the top of my feet and the top of the sandal.

Hopefully it’ll get wider when the leather stretches out. Otherwise really good quality shoes.

I have collapsing arches and now refuse to buy shoes that don’t have proper arch support. I had two weddings to go to, as well as other wedding-related events and got this one pair of shoes for all of them.

They not only match everything I could think to wear but are extremely comfortable and have arch support?!?? something I never thought I’d find in a heel. They are expensive – I had originally gotten a cheaper version from Naturalizer but they didn’t come in in time so had to rush order these- wouldn’t have been my first choice due to the price but I’m happy none the less.

I wore them to all the events in a row without breaking them in and found them to be perfectly comfortable. Everyone else was taking off their heels after a few hours and I was able to keep mine on to keep dancing into the early morning.

Will be wearing again. PS: I have narrow feet and these fit well.

I have very narrow feet and have a hard time finding stylish shoes that come in narrow widths. I was very happy when I found this shoe. My normal size is 8S in a dress shoe. Sadly, this shoe has N’s but not S’s, so I took a chance with an 8N.

It was not narrow enough and also ran a bit long. So, I reordered the shoe in a 7 1/2 N. Luckily, because it’s a sandal, the length was ok and going down a half a size made a big difference in the width.

I bought it for a wedding in July (have to plan ahead when you have narrow feet!). Whether I wear them to the wedding or not, I’ll keep the shoes. They are very comfortable and versatile and hard to find.

The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I think manufactures and stores should carry shoes in more narrow sizes such as S(slim) and SS(extra slim). Those widths used to be available in stylish shoes.

I would recommend these shoes and if you have S width give them a try in a half size down.

I could not recommend these enough! At first I was skeptical, because I am very prone to pain along the ball of my foot. I decided to trust the reviews and I am glad I purchased these. I originally bought a medium width, but returned for the wide width.

I was able to wear these shoes for a wedding (about 7 hours total of walking and dancing). My toes had some very mild pain at the end, but that was from general foot swelling at the end of the day – nothing the shoes would be at fault for.

Overall, these were very comfortable and I did not feel pain at the end of the night. Once I took them off and was standing, the bottom of my feet didn’t feel like they were wearing heels the entire night.

Highly recommend!.

Super cute fall sandal. Definitely purchase a size larger. I am a size 8 and purchased a 9 based on reviews. The 9 fits perfectly. The print is so fun and the colors can go with many things. Nice heel height.

I can wear these all day to work with no problems.

I picked up a pair of these sandals while vacationing in Florida – I got them in gray and just love they sooo much! I was in a rush so didn’t even try them on, when I got home I was so happy I bought them.

They go with casual and dressy too. Very different and got plenty of compliments on them! Wish I had bought them in other colors. !!!.

These sandals are very comfortable & stylish. Also, they are true to size. Which means, no returns. I’m always complimented on my Journee Collection selections. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

Thank you Journee Collections.

I am baffled that someone thought adult people would want scented shoes. I missed this in the product description, but these shoes are “strawberry” scented. They smelled like toxic chemicals to me. The shoes were also too narrow for me and pinched.

Return!.

Ihave a tough time finding sandals that fit because I have a tailors bunion on the sides of my feet. And, usually I run between a 10 and an 11. These are super comfy and fit! My only critique is that they kinda smell like the cleaner they put in port-a-potties.

But I assume the smell will go away!.

Nordstrom randomly suggested this on my FB feed and it’s now one of my favorite pairs of shoes absolutely love them. They’re a little squishy which I like. They’re flattering and stylish go with a lot of different outfits.

The pewter sandals are very attractive and stylish and I am enjoying, for the first time, wearing sandals! I purchased the extra arch booster as I have quite high arches and that was just the exact fit I needed.

I’ve gotten compliments on them and it’s the first time I’ve found a sandal that does not make my toes hang over the edge, fit way back from the front or are too narrow as my feet are wide and I have longer toes.

I am impressed with the 2-way strap fit. I like that I can fit the strap across and then slide it off and on making the sandal open up in order to slide my foot in quite easily. The velcro tab on the right side is a real plus.

It keeps me from needing to bend my back in a twisting action. Which, for me, is a wonderful blessing since I have severe chronic back pain from 2 back fusions that left me with MORE pain than when I went in and that was 10 years ago.

I will definitely buy from Orthofeet again in the future. It’s also the ONLY store that has the BEST styles of any of the other ones I researched before choosing OrthoFeet. I appreciate the specific details that you added into all of your shoes in every attempt to make them the excellent choice! I am very thankful that I had OrthoFeet to choose from for my first pair of sandals that fit absolutely perfect, the first time in my 65 years of life! I don’t lie, so you can take that to the bank!.

The sandals are good quality and they’re soft from the time I put them on. I especially like the double adjustable strap that goes across the top of my foot: I need the extra length. I wish the sandals didn’t have a small heel.

IMO, a flat shoe would be better. I tend to slide forward off the toe of the shoe, despite adjusting the strap across the toes. And for some reason my toes go numb, I can’t figure that out. So these sandals aren’t perfect for me but they’re better than other sandals that I’ve tried.

I have one foot with fallen arch and I can wear these Orthofeet sandals. They seem to get more comfortable the more I wear them. I live in Florida so I would really like to wear sandals instead of shoes and socks for the summer.

20 years of neuropathy & three foot surgeries later I had pretty much given up on ever being able to walk without pain. Recently developed a bone spur and the pain radiated from the bottom of my foot to the top.

I did an internet search and found the Ortho- Feet site. The reviews were so impressive I took a chance and ordered a pair of shoes. Wow is all I can say. No neuropathy pain at all, Unbelievable!!!! I was in the grocery store on day two wearing my new Ortho- Feet shoes and I stopped half way through the store struck with the realization that I could no longer feel the bone spurs.

Not sure how you do it but I’m totally sold. Just ordered another pair with more to come. Donating my other expensive but painful shoes to charity.

I’ve had these for over a year. The color (“denim blue”) was already a faded-looking denim, but it’s now faded SO greatly with normal use that it’s like a light grey (which works for some outfits) and seems to retain little stains that look like water marks (?) which won’t remove.

Hate that it makes them look dirty. However, they are the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever had for my super-wide feet. I was worried that the WW would not fit, but based on reviews I took a chance as I am really a WWW and can NEVER find anything that allows my foot full entry and no pain once on.

They were comfortable from Day 1. I wear an 8. 5 and these were true-to-size for length.

I bought these shoes because they velcro straps allow adjustments for swelling. I have severe issues with neuropathy. They are a little heavy, and I will have to be very careful walking in them. They remind me of the birkenstock style sandals that I can no longer wear.

They do look stylish!.

This shoe sold by Healthy Feet Store, is everything I wanted. It was more money than I wanted to spend but it looked great in the picture. So I ordered it in a wide size online. When it arrived, I tried it on and WOW! I can’t wait for Summer now! It actually makes my foot look beautiful.

And they are so comfortable. I’m sold! I highly recommend this shoe AND Healthy Feet Store. (free shipping and easy returns).

I love these sandals. I have very picky toes that are easily irritated by anything against them, especially my little toes. I also have a hammer middle toe whose toe knuckle rubs against the top of anything covering it.

I thought I was going to be forced to wear only flip flops until I found these sandals. The toe opening is just right not too far back or forward with soft fabric that flexes when I walk so that there is no rubbing or irritating.

I love my Bzees so much that I’ve bought them for my mother and aunt who also have problem feet. I can even wear the Bzee closed toe shoes.

I love the Chance BZees sandal. I first ordered the grey in a 9-W and they are so comfortable. My true size is 8 1/2 wide but don’t think they had an 8 1/2 wide so I ordered the 9-W. Just a tad long but they work.

I decided to order the same sandal in black, but they only had 9-medium so decided to take a chance. They honestly fit the same as the wide and I love them as much as the grey. I would definitely recommend.

They are actually more comfortable than my tennis shoes.

I have numerous pairs of BZees and love all of them. I have flat feet so have to wear arch supports and the built in ones on BZees are great. Always wear a size 8. Recently ordered item H9600F1020 Sandals.

The arch is not typical or enough to be supportative and they are also to big. Rather than return I gave them to a friend who wears size 8 1/2 or 9 and they fit her well. Therefore, rated a 3, all others would rate a 5.

Lovely shoes, but ridiculously undersized. I am normally a 5, but I sized up to a 6 as I know Lunar can come up small, the shoes arrived and they are like a size 4, my heels were hanging off the end.

I have never in my entire life needed a size 7 in any brand! Have had to return them and am not happy that returns are charged for, especially considering this is a manufacturing issue with the sizing.

The shoes are exactly as described but look even better than the picture. The shoes are described as wide fit and unlike other shoes I have tried from on line stores are wise fit. Parcel arrived in the timescale given.

Very happy.

Shoes were perfect ! Great fit and very comfortable as well as good quality shoes.

The bottom on the inside of the shoe comes a loose with in 2to 3 wears. Really, not satisfied with the quality of these shoes. I have other shoes from here and I thought it was something I was doing.

So I payed close attention. I had these shoes for only 8 days.

These arrived yesterday. I have a very small, wide foot and can no longer find shoes in stores in my size. I purchased a 5 wide. Not only do they fit, but they are incredibly comfortable, soft, and (drum roll.

) pretty! My fat little foot is attractive in them, and I love the style! Usually shoes in my size are geriatric looking. I love them so much, I’m getting them in a 2nd color!.

I have these in wide and loved them but after wearing them in they are to big… I ordered a regular I hopes that they would fit better however they are way to narrow… I really loved my other ones I bought 2 of them! I’m sad that these didn’t work! However they were a great sander for me initially!.

I have purchased Landsend closed toe sandals for the past 4 years. Up until this year, their comfort & quality were second to none. This year’s version is not like the prior versions. The bed of the sandal is much cheaper and not comfortable at all.

There’s a cloth upper that is stiff and uncomfortable (last year’s didn’t have this feature). So uncomfortable. I bought them in 2 different sizes, (I’m 7. 5 but they don’t do half sizes in this style).

Neither of them fit. It looks like they changed the shoe completely.

I am usually very happy with my purchases from LandsEnd. These sandals are nothing like a pair I purchased few years ago which I love. There is little to no arch support. I wear a size 7 but these sandals make my feet appear much larger.

It also took several attempts to adjust the elastic cord to get them to fit and add support. They run wide. The straps seem to be oversized and unflattering which make them look clunky. If I paid full price, I would have returned them.

I bought 4 pair of these last year and loved them. They were honestly all that I wore bc they were sturdy, cute and had good arch support. These shoes are very different. The ankle strap feels too low and slides no matter how much I tighten it.

There is also a flap that covers top of foot, but isnt connected to side of shoe. The shoe does not feel stable on. I bought 3 and will be returning them. Land’s End, please restock the prior version if this shoe.

These are really cute but if you have wide feet I wouldn’t recommend them, not even sizing up. I’m typically a 7. 5 and size up because my feet are wide and not all 7. 5 sandals fit me because of it.

Even sizing up didn’t help, Meanwhile another pair of sandals I purchased fit me at my 7. 5 but they are cute and comfy. I did wear them around the house for a while to break them in and while they feel better on my feet unfortunately the aesthetic of it isn’t cute and if my feet just don’t look good in them I won’t wear them but they’ll make a nice gift for my sister :).

These sandals are so cute and comfortable! I find that they fit true to size. My only complaint, or fyi, is that I got two scuffs on the front of the sole of each shoe within one day. Like the border of the shoes sold has pretty thin material so it scuffs easily.

Kind of a bummer and I find that Target sandals are typically more durable, but thankfully the braid part has held up well so far.

Not sure why there were reviews saying these run small – I typically wear 8. 5 or 9 (closer to 9 more often) and ordered these in 9, and they’re perfect! Exactly what I needed to match for my Athleta skirt! I will probably add some kind of insert to make it more cushy (they’re fine as is, I’m just getting older, lol) and even then, the straps are flexible and stretchy.

Don’t hesitate to grab these!.

I bought these shoes to satisfy my cravings for a comfortable shoe. They are true to size and comfortable at the first wearing without a break-in period as with most shoes. I have received many comments on the style and color from friends in my senior age group.

Comfortable but too long. I usually wear a size 9 in other brands. I am returning the pair I just bought for an exchange to a size 8. 5. The way these are designed there is more closed space at the bottom so will be okay to wear in the winter.

They are definitely MAX. The picture is accurate but when I put them on I wondered why MAX left his shoes at my house. Now that I have worn them I will keep them. I did send the white ones back. Nope.

Not for me. I swim in them. I prefer Dr Scholls. MAX is not pretty.

It’s a Gorgeous piece of footwear. The Rhinestones Shimmer and Sparkle like a Disco Ball. They definitely look like high quality rhinestones. The straps are tight on my feet. I think I bought a 6. 5.

I’m some where between sizes, 6. 5, 7 and my one foot is Just a tiny bit bigger than the other, when I wear shoes that are leather or vegan leather, I feel the difference. I was hoping the straps would stretch a bit but they really haven’t and it causes the shoes to slide off my feet and I keep having to pull at the straps to get them to stay on.

But it’s really not too bad, not enough to exchange them anyway.
