WIDE FEET? NO PROBLEM!
Many people have wider feet and require footwear to accommodate this. Standard shoes are usually only available in one standard width which is why the search is on for wider shoes. Look no further than our extensive line of orthopedic footwear!
Why feet get wider and why wider shoes are required
- Decreased elasticity in tendons and ligaments, making our feet longer and wider as we age
- Weight gain is a contributing factor because the fat pad on the bottom of the foot tends to spread
- Women's feet can grow in size during pregnancy, caused by hormonal changes or fluid retention
- Swelling which can be caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Fluid retention (Edema)
- Lymphedema (a chronic condition)
- Hammertoes, bunions become more common as we age, requiring the need for wider footwear
These conditions will require the use of wider footwear to accommodate the wider foot shape.
