Fall can bring excitement for those who love to layer and transition into new styles. Fall fashion can also inspire anxiety for people who suffer from morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and more. That’s because fall boots and shoes rarely come with roomy toe boxes, arch support, and other comfort features. That’s why we’ve focused on designing shoes you can’t find any where else.
Learn more about our wide toe box shoe designs to offer fashionable options for both dress and casual wear. Along the way, learn more about how the right shoes can alleviate common foot ailments.
Health Benefits of Wide Toe Box Shoes
One of the primary advantages of wearing wide toe box shoes is that the designs promote a natural toe spread, allowing your toes to relax and align correctly, which is crucial for overall foot health. This is especially beneficial for people suffering from bunions because the extra space allows for a natural positioning of the toes, which reduces pressure on the bunion itself. In other words, shoes shaped like feet make walking more helpful.
A wide toe box also helps with blister prevention. Traditional narrow shoes often rub against the toes, leading to painful blisters after long days of walking, working, errands, and more. With a more spacious design, wide toe box shoes reduce friction and provide a more comfortable fit.
In addition to alleviating bunion pain, wide toe box shoes can help with conditions such as Morton’s neuroma, a painful nerve condition that affects the ball of the foot. By allowing the toes to spread out, these shoes minimize pressure on the affected area, providing much-needed relief.
Overall, wearing shoes designed with a wide toe box can lead to a more comfortable walking experience, reducing pain and discomfort throughout the day. Here are some of our favorite wide toe box shoes…
Stylish Wide Toe Box Dress Shoes
If you think that comfort compromises style, think again! Wide toe box dress shoes are both chic and functional. Two standout options are our Liesl Skimmer and the Eva Mary Jane.
Liesl Skimmer
The Liesl Skimmer is a perfect blend of style and comfort–it is our most popular women’s dress shoe available in both an all-felt options and a leather wool-lined option. This sleek shoe features a soft leather exterior with a felt lining, making it comfortable enough to wear without socks. It also has a removable arch support, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking. The no-slip sole provides stability, making it an excellent choice for both casual and dressy occasions. Of course, the roomy toe box relieves foot pain and prevents it from returning.
