Do you size down in a wide shoe?

In this way, it’s perhaps most accurate to think of width as “fittings.” Size up a width, and the circumference at the ball of the shoe increases, thus increasing volume. Size down a width, and the circumference shrinks, thus decreasing volume.

Should I size up or down for wide shoes?

If the shoes you want only come in one width, then for narrow feet it is recommended that you size down and size up if your foot is wider.

Should I size down with wide fit?

Shoe size and shoe width tend to be proportional in standard sizing, so large shoes may run a little wider than necessary if you have long, but narrow feet. However, we’d advise against opting for a larger shoe size, solely for the purpose of getting a wider fit, as this could cause a trip hazard.

How much bigger are wide fit shoes?

For most people requiring wider shoes, a wider shoe at the ball- of-the-foot and toe-box is most important. When measured at the ball-of-the-foot, the difference between shoe widths is approximately 1/4”. A wide width is 1/4” wider than a medium width and an extra wide width is 1/2” wider than a medium width.
