Do you feel like your feet don't fit into conventional shoes? Are you uncomfortable with pressure and friction on the sides of your feet? If the answer is yes, you probably have wide feet.

Wide feet are more common than you think, and fortunately, there are footwear options customized to the width to provide comfort and support for this foot type. At STARLEI, we adjust our footwear to wide feet, we can adjust any design from the collection to the width of your feet to create the perfect footwear for you.

What are wide feet?

Wide feet are characterized by having a greater width in the front of the foot, from the metatarsal area to the toes. This can be due to genetic, structural factors or even wearing inappropriate footwear for a long period of time.

Problems associated with wide feet

If proper shoes are not worn, wide feet can suffer from various discomforts and problems, such as:

• Pain and chafing: Narrow footwear can compress the feet, causing pain, chafing and even calluses.
• Fatigue and tiredness: Lack of support and constant pressure can cause fatigue and tiredness in the feet, especially after long hours standing or walking.
• Deformities: Prolonged use of inappropriate footwear can cause toe deformities, such as bunions or hammertoes.
• Posture problems: Lack of arch support can affect posture and cause back and joint pain.

On many occasions it happens that people who have wide feet buy a shoe size larger to fit them, without knowing the problems this causes. Foot does not stay in position

Depending on the type of design, whether open or closed, the footwear needs a certain amount of clearance between 0.5 cm and 1 cm. This clearance is necessary to absorb the changes in length that the foot undergoes when walking. When this clearance is large because it is not the correct length size, it gives rise to deformation problems of the plantar arches while supporting the body load.
