FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT: WHAT STYLE OF SHOE WORKS FOR YOU?
When it comes to shoes, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach.
Shoes are a part of our everyday life! We wear them to work, on our morning run, out to lunch with the girls, and everything in between!
But many of us have come to accept the fact that our shoes are not always comfortable. Beauty is pain, right? Well, that’s about to change. We’re here to tell you that that is complete gibberish! You’re doing more harm than good by wearing ill-fitting footwear - the long term consequences can be both damaging and painful.
If you struggle to find shoes that don’t cut your circulation or perhaps gape or leave your feet aching, chances are you have a wide or narrow foot or suffer from other common foot-related issues: bunions, high-instep, high-arch, or more.
Luckily, at Easy Living Footwear, we meticulously measure our shoes to discover the proper fit for you and your feet - no matter what type you have. With our exacting and specific measurements, you'll be able to choose from a huge range of stylish, fashionable and comfy shoes. Wide, narrow, orthotic-friendly - you can pick precisely what's best for you, and still look great!
WIDE FEET
Wide feet are often caused by flat arches. When people with fallen or flattened arches stand up, the curve of the foot collapses, which in turn makes the foot appear wider. There is nothing wrong with having a wide foot, but when you constantly try to squeeze into shoes that leave you in excruciating pain, it can very quickly become a problem. Wearing ill-fitting shoes with wide feet can lead to bunions and other bony bumps.
If you have wide feet, we suggest you go for shoes that are expertly crafted with ample space. The main tips for selecting a shoe that works for your wide feet are:
Here are our top picks for shoes for wide feet:

NARROW FEET
But wide feet aren’t the only issue. People with narrow feet often have trouble getting their feet to fit regular shoes - narrow feet can also result in a heel that is much narrower than your forefoot. This can be quite an issue when you are looking for shoes, with only certain styles available in extra narrow. Regular width shoes often slip and slide and even fall off altogether.
Luckily, there are shoes that can work for your narrow feet! The best rules to abide to when purchasing your next pair are the following:
Here are our top picks for shoes for narrow feet:
The Pikolinos 8637 is perfect for a slim foot. With a sleek leather upper and lining and padded innersoles, breathable uppers, feel ensured these shoes won’t slip off!
The Rollie Derby City features a classic lace up front with built in comfort and support from the memory foam insoles making it impossible for your foot to slip out!
Looking for a heel that finally fits you? The Django & Juliette Happie Black Suede Heel features a soft, thick suede straps that holds the foot in place with the help from a modern, suede buckle on the side that is not only practical but also adds style to this heel. The solid, block heel supports and stabilizes the foot whilst also providing the height you are after and ensures your narrow foot does not slip!
