Wide Fitting Shoes

Finding that perfect pair of heels for a special occasion such as a wedding or a party can be a struggle when you have wide feet or bunions (hallux valgus). It turns into an actual nightmare when you have wide feet with bunions. We feel your pain, and we are here to solve your footwear problems once and for all, with extra wide fits for all women.

Our wider fitting shoe collection features styles that are an EEE fit all around the shoe. These can accommodate wide feet and up to large bunions. Made out of super-soft materials, they differ from regular shoes - we take your lumps and bumps into account in the design process. You can also shop wide toe box shoes here.

Choose Calla Shoes for the ultimate comfort, quality craftsmanship, and the perfect fit. We're hot on the latest shoe trends, bringing you footwear ideal for everyday wear and when you're going out.

Our range includes wider fitting boots and ankle boots, wedges, wide high heels, court shoes, and occasion shoes. We stock wide toe box trainers and sandals as well.

What makes our women's wide fit shoes so special?

• Each pair is designed with comfort in mind. We believe that you should never have to compromise on comfort or style.
• We only use the softest, most luxurious leather in our production, to ensure that the shoes work with you and for you, by molding to your feet. Prepare for blisters to be a thing of the past. This also means that as the materials stretch, they are able to accommodate even very wide (EEE) feet.
• Every style incorporates a cushioned and arch supported insole, to properly support your feet and make you feel like you are walking on clouds.
• The comfort of our wide fitting heels is unparalleled. Try it for yourself to see!

Please note: this collection will only be suitable for you if you have wide feet or wide feet and bunions. If you have regular or narrow feet with bunions, the styles in our main collection will be much more suitable for you.

Understand What’s Causing Your Discomfort

Foot pain may begin as a mild irritation but, if ignored, can grow into significant issues that impact movement and overall well-being. Shoes that don’t fit properly aren’t just inconvenient—they can compress nerves, irritate bunions, or restrict blood flow, leading to persistent discomfort. Swelling, often caused by prolonged standing, hormonal changes, or weight fluctuations, makes this problem worse by creating even more tightness.

• Key symptoms to watch for:
  • Red, tender areas after removing shoes.
  • Persistent puffiness that doesn’t subside quickly.
  • Sharp pain from bunions pressed by narrow shoes.

These symptoms reflect more than tired feet—they signal strain requiring proper support. Addressing these concerns early is key: bunions, for example, result from bone misalignment, and shoes that press against them can worsen the issue and cause sharp, ongoing pain.

Takeaway: Identifying the specific challenges your feet face is essential to finding solutions that provide lasting comfort.

Why the Right Shoes Make All the Difference

Selecting footwear that fits your needs can bring a major improvement to daily life. Properly designed options ease discomfort while also stopping existing problems from becoming worse. Repeatedly wearing styles that compress or misalign your feet can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, a painful inflammation of the tissue supporting the arch.

• Consider your daily movements:
  • Walking to work, appointments or errands.
  • Standing in the kitchen while cooking.
  • Spending hours at a desk, often without realizing the strain.

Each action puts weight and pressure on your feet. Shoes that fit well and adjust to these demands prevent strain from building up in ways that can affect knees, hips, or even your back. Now, consider footwear that moves with you—offering flexibility in the morning, cushioning as the day progresses, and steady support in the evening.

Practical Tip: Look for shoes with insoles made from materials like memory foam or gel. These provide adaptable support that adjusts as your needs change throughout the day.

Features That Prioritise Your Comfort

Every part of a shoe contributes to how it supports you. Understanding these characteristics helps you make smart decisions:

• Flexible materials: Stretch fabrics such as neoprene or mesh reduce tension, contouring to the unique shape of your feet without causing pressure points. These materials are especially helpful if you experience bunion discomfort or swelling.
• Supportive soles: Midsoles made from shock-absorbing materials like EVA foam or polyurethane ease the stress of walking or standing on hard surfaces. This is especially important for protecting your joints if you spend long hours on your feet or carry extra weight.
• Roomy toe areas: Rounded or wider toe boxes give your feet space to move freely, reducing painful friction and promoting natural alignment. Avoid styles with narrow, pointed shapes, which can contribute to or worsen toe deformities.
• Adjustable fastenings: Laces, Velcro, or elastic inserts allow you to modify the fit during the day, which is particularly beneficial if swelling increases after hours of activity.

Pro Tip: Try on shoes later in the day when your feet are naturally more swollen. This ensures they’ll remain comfortable no matter how long you wear them.

Styles That Don’t Compromise Elegance

There’s no reason to sacrifice style for comfort. Many brands now design attractive footwear that balances both practicality and appearance. From loafers with hidden arch support to fashionable sandals with ergonomic soles, you can find options that reflect your personal taste while addressing your needs.

• For professional environments: Block heels with cushioned insoles in timeless colors like navy, taupe, or black. These pair effortlessly with a variety of outfits while keeping your feet happy during long days.
• For casual settings: Slip-ons or ankle boots with stretch panels provide a snug yet forgiving fit.

A friend once wore sleek pumps featuring discreet cushioning to an evening event. She later shared that not only did they match her outfit perfectly, but she also enjoyed the entire evening without any discomfort—an outcome she hadn’t experienced in years.

Practical Tip: Walk on different surfaces when testing shoes before purchasing. This ensures they feel stable and supportive on everything from carpet to outdoor pavement.
