Shoe Width Chart

When buying shoes online many customers only pay attention to the shoe size that actually defines the shoe length. This approach works fine in case you have standard foot, but people are different and feet sizing is different too: some people have wide feet, some others have narrow feet. Many footwear brands take this into account and design shoes for all types of feet. In order to choose the right shoes that fit your feet well you should use the shoe width chart to get right sizing and fit.

In general, the regular shoes width is “B” for women and “D” for men. Use these values in case most of shoes you have fit you fine. In case footwear you usually purchase seems to be slightly large, think of picking narrower shoes. “5A”or “AAAAA” is used to specify the narrowest shoes, 4A is slightly wider, 3A is slightly wider than 4A, etc. General rule for the narrow shoes is the larger the number the slimmer shoes are. If your shoes are generally tight, try going with wider shoes. “5E” or “EEEEE” marks the widest shoes, “4E” is slightly less wide, etc. General rule for the wide shoes is the larger the number the wider shoes are. Use the shoe width chart below as a general guideline for selecting the right shoe width that fits you best.

Lets see how to use this shoe width chart. First, you have to measure your feet correctly and find your feet width. Please measure your both feet and use bigger result of measurement. Second, you have to know your regular shoe size.

For example, if a woman usually wears US 9 and her foot is 3.3 inches wide, her feet are considered narrow and she is recommended to order size A. If a man usually wears US 10 and his foot is 4.3 inches wide his foot is considered standard and he is recommended to order size D, or R (regular), or M (medium).
