What is EE on shoe size?

EE width. The more ‘E’s you add the wider the shoe, so EE, or 2E is a wide shoe for men and extra wide for women.

Does Double EE mean wide?

D is the standard and most common size for men’s boots. B is considered “narrow” for men. EE is considered wide and EEE is extra wide. The other letters represent in-between sizes with AAA being the narrowest.

What does 2 EE mean in shoe size?

2E width is extra wide in women’s shoes. It typically follows D, skipping over E. It is also displayed as XW, WW, and EE. In men’s shoes, 2E is only wide, sometimes represented by a single E, rather than 2E or EE. Men that require the extra wide need to look for 4E, as 3E is often skipped.

How much wider is a 2E shoe?

There is approximately a 1/2″ difference between widths (2A, B, D, 2E and 4E) and a 3/8″ difference between 4E and 6E width. This difference occurs across the ball of the foot and is the maximum difference in width. There is less of a width difference as you move toward the tip of the shoe and toward the heel.
