What are wide shoes?

Wide shoes are made for those who need a bit more room, without losing any of the classic style. They’re the same length as standard shoes, but with extra space where it counts. The wide Vans sole is 5 MM wider, and the fit around the ball of the foot is 10 MM larger compared to regular-width shoes, ensuring a better, more comfortable fit for those with wider feet.

Are wide shoes better for your feet?

Wide shoes can be better for your feet if standard shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort. With a wider fit, you get extra room across the forefoot and more space for your toes, reducing pinching or pressure. However, wide shoes are best if you truly need the extra width—otherwise, they might feel too loose and unsupportive.

Can you wear Vans if you have wide feet?

Yes, you can absolutely wear Vans if you have wide feet! Whether you’re looking for men’s wide sneakers or wide sneakers for women, Vans has a variety of wide silhouettes to choose, including four of our classics and customs.

What is the difference between wide and regular Vans?

The main difference between wide and regular Vans lies in the fit. Wide Vans are designed to offer more space in sole and ball of the foot.

• Sole Width: The sole of wide Vans is 5 MM wider than regular Vans, providing extra room across the base of the shoe. 
• Ball of the Foot: Wide Vans have an additional 10 MM of space around the ball of the foot, ensuring a more comfortable fit for people with wider feet.

This extra room can make a big difference in overall comfort, especially if your feet need a bit more breathing space than regular Vans provide.
