Spring is finally here. You know what that means—longer days, warmer weather, and the annual ritual of realizing your shoes are falling apart.
If you’ve been stomping through winter’s rain and cold in the same worn-out sneakers or boots, it’s time to make a change. And if you’ve got wide feet, you know the struggle—finding a shoe that actually fits can feel like trying to find a good cup of coffee at a gas station.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you.
At Wide Shoes Only, we’re not just a store—we’re a lifesaver for wide-footed folks in Renton and Edmonds. We specialize in actual wide shoes, from sneakers to dress shoes to hiking boots, because no one should have to cram their feet into narrow, soul-crushing footwear ever again.
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your shoe game, so let’s talk about why you need to ditch those old kicks, what makes a great wide shoe, and the top styles to grab this season.
Here’s the deal—bad shoes don’t just make your feet hurt. They throw your entire body out of whack. If you’ve been walking around in the wrong size or a shoe that lacks proper support, you’ve probably noticed:
✅ Achy feet by the end of the day
✅ Random knee or back pain (even though you’re not THAT old yet)
✅ Blisters, bunions, or calluses that make you rethink your life choices
And don’t even get me started on how tight, narrow shoes can absolutely destroy your toes over time. If you’re still out here playing foot Tetris every time you put on your shoes, it’s time to stop.
Spring means you’re going to be outside more—walking, hiking, running errands, chasing your dog, whatever it is you do. The last thing you need is foot pain holding you back. Upgrading your shoes now means months of comfort ahead.
Not all wide shoes are created equal. You know this if you’ve ever ordered a “wide” sneaker online, only to find out it’s about 2 millimeters wider than the regular size. That’s not what we do here.
A real wide shoe needs:
We’re talking 2E, 4E, 6E, and beyond—not that fake "wide" label some brands slap on regular shoes. If your foot feels like it's being vacuum-sealed into a sneaker, that’s a problem.
Foot pain isn’t just about width—it’s about how your shoe supports you. If you’ve got flat feet, high arches, or plantar fasciitis, you need shoes that actually give you stability instead of making you feel like you’re walking on a plank of wood.
Let’s be honest—some wide shoes out there are ugly as sin. You shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and style. We stock wide shoes that actually look good, so you don’t feel like you’re walking around in a medical necessity.
Now, let’s get into the good stuff. What should you be wearing this spring? Here are the top wide shoes to grab right now, whether you’re gearing up for hikes, dressing up for an event, or just need a solid everyday shoe.
Spring means moving more, whether you’re getting outside for a run or just trying to hit those 10,000 steps a day. If you’re wearing shoes that crush your toes, wreck your arches, or just feel like cement blocks, it’s time for an upgrade.
We carry wide running shoes, wide walking shoes, and wide cross-trainers from the brands that actually care about fit. Your feet shouldn’t feel like they’ve been through a war by the end of the day.
It’s hiking season, and if you live near Renton or Edmonds, you’ve got some of the best trails in the Pacific Northwest at your doorstep.
But nothing ruins a hike faster than blisters and foot cramps from boots that don’t fit right. That’s why we stock real wide hiking boots—so your feet can breathe while still being supported on rocky terrain. No more losing toenails on a steep downhill climb.
Spring means weddings, graduations, and events where sneakers won’t cut it. But let’s be real—most dress shoes are designed for people with narrow, delicate feet, not real feet that need real room.
We’ve got wide dress shoes that actually fit comfortably—so you’re not standing there at a wedding reception, wishing you could just go barefoot.
It’s warming up, which means it’s sandal season. But if you’ve ever tried squeezing wide feet into regular sandals, you know how bad it can get.
We stock wide width sandals that actually fit—so you’re not walking around with your pinky toe hanging off the edge like it’s trying to escape.
You might be thinking, “Can’t I just order some ‘wide’ shoes online?”
Sure. But let me ask you this—how many times have you ordered a shoe online, only to send it back because it didn’t actually fit?
That’s the problem. Not all wide shoes are the same, and the best way to get the right pair is to try them on in person.
✅ A trained staff who actually knows how to fit wide feet (No, Karen, just “going a size up” is NOT the solution)
✅ A selection of REAL wide shoes—not just "kinda wide" shoes
✅ A stress-free shopping experience where you actually leave with shoes that fit
We’ve been in business for over 40 years, helping people find comfortable, stylish, and supportive wide shoes—because you deserve better than forcing your feet into shoes that weren’t made for them.
Spring is here. Step into comfort. Step into Wide Shoes Only.
