Roomy footwear for extra-wide feet
WHETHER going for an autumn walk, a quick trip to the local shop or simply relaxing at home, it’s important that your footwear is supportive and comfortable. But what if you suffer with extra-wide or swollen feet and can’t find anything to fit? Without the right shoes, getting on with your day can become impossible. People of all ages can find themselves needing extra-wide footwear for all sorts of reasons. Medical conditions, poor circulation, foot and ankle injuries or even the side effects of medication can cause feet and legs to swell. It’s a problem that affects many people, yet finding the right footwear isn’t always easy. If you have swollen feet, it’s important to look for shoes that are available in a wider-width fitting and offer more depth. It shouldn’t be necessary to buy a larger shoe size. If you choose footwear that has an adjustable fastening, such as Velcro or a lace, you can adjust it if your feet tend to swell more as the day goes on. When buying wide-fitting slippers, look for ones that offer support around the heel and have a fastening to hold them securely on the foot. Alternatively, reserve a pair of comfortable, wellfitting shoes for indoor use. Shop in the safety and comfort of your own home by searching online for retailers that specialise in extra-roomy footwear for wide or swollen feet. Delivery is speedy and efficient and many online retailers offer a free returns service so you can try items on at home and send them back for a refund or exchange if they’re not quite right.
