Stuck for inspiration about where to buy wide fit women's shoes in the UK? You're in exactly the right place!
Gone are the days when we had to settle for “granny shoes” just because our feet need a little extra space. Besides, some of the most beautiful, strong and stylish women I know are grannies and they wouldn’t be caught dead in frumpy shoes.
This negative attitude is a hangover from the bad old days when the only shops catering for the wider of foot offered a dull selection of orthopedic, function-before-form practical footwear. Thankfully retailers have caught on and we’re now spoilt for choice – if you know where to look.
