Signs You Might Need Wider Shoes
Even if you’ve spent your entire life so far wearing regular-fit shoes, these may no longer be suitable for your feet. As we get older our feet can change shape and spread out slightly, making them wider than they used to be. Here are three classic (and rather unpleasant) signs that your feet may have become too wide for your shoes:Recurring Blisters
Blisters are most commonly caused when the fabric of your shoe rubs repeatedly against a concentrated area of skin, and usually removes the top layer of skin which can be highly painful. While this is common with some types of new shoe, if you’re getting blisters with older shoes this is a good indication they are too narrow for your feet.Bunions
Bunions are prominent, bony bumps that form where your big toe joins your foot. They are sensitive to pressure and are usually caused when your shoes are pointed, too narrow or too tight. If your shoes are not pointed and they are the correct standard size, you will know that it is the width causing the issue.Corns
Corns are patches of skin that have become thick and hardened, and usually appear on the sides or tops of your feet. They are caused when the skin between your shoe fabric and prominent bones in your feet is repeatedly squeezed. Once again, shoes that are too narrow are often the culprits here, as this put extra pressure on these areas. If your feet are exhibiting these classic signs of needing wide fit shoes, it’s definitely time to explore the options.Gabor’s Favourite Wide Fit Boots For Autumn
