What are the different shoe widths?

  • The shoe widths vary between men’s and women’s shoes. The majority of our shoes are standard width, however sometimes we stock alternative widths in certain models.
  • The standard men’s width is a D width. A narrow width is B, wide is 2E and extra wide is 4E.
  • The standard women’s width is a B width. A narrow width is 2A, wide is D and extra wide is 2E.
  • Every brand fits slightly differently with some intentionally having narrower or wider fitting shoes which makes it so important to try a shoe in-store before running in it.
  • If you have know you have a particularly wide or narrow foot you can be creative in finding a shoe that fits you best. For example, if you are a man with a narrow foot, a women’s standard width (B) is the same as a men’s narrow (B). Alternatively, if you are a women with a wide foot, a men’s standard width (D) is the same as a women’s wide (D).
