Top 10 Wide Fitting Winter Boots

Our guide to the top 10 wide-fitting boots for all occasions this autumn and winter.
Let's face it: autumn and winter, boots are indispensable. The right pair can see you through pretty much anything! We can get rather attached to them and almost regret Spring coming round! But wide-fitting boots don't always get the same glowing praise! Years of being clunky, clumpy and of limited 'showoffability' have tempered our relationships with them, perhaps.

But not any more!

Whether it's slightly wide or extra wide and deep that you need, DB Wider Fit Shoes have you covered for stylish wide-fitting boots this Autumn and Winter.

Not only are they supremely comfortable and come with features that create the perfect fit for different foot shapes, foot health conditions like bunions, diabetes or arthritis through their adjustability, but you can now wear them with confidence that you will look as good as your feet feel.

Boots for different foot shapes

We now offer boots with four different toe shapes – round, square, almond and our brand new “asymmetric” toe shape - for the perfect fit for your feet.

You find shoes on the high street in different sizes, and increasingly in slightly different widths, but how easy is it to find shoes to match your foot shape?

Our mission is to offer shoes which give the "FREEDOM" to be able to walk in complete comfort and the "JOY" of living your life to the full without thinking about your feet!

We know that to achieve this, we need to offer footwear that accommodates as many people as is viable, not just for different length of foot but for foot WIDTH and foot SHAPE.

Shoes in the wrong toe shape can cramp and squeeze your toes, which, in addition to the discomfort that this will cause, can also cause changes to the biomechanics of your body, such as issues with gait, posture or unnecessary wear and tear on joints.

So, knowing your foot shape can be very important!

Due to popular demand, we have also recently increased the number of styles available in our widest fittings, to include more of our wide-fitting sporty boots and biker boots and even a host of brand-new vegan-friendly boots so, even if you need the widest and deepest shoes on the market, you can wear them proudly without compromising on style or values.

We had to think long and hard about this between new styles Belmont and Carrie but we decided, if you’re looking for that knockout, dress-to-impress boot this winter then look no further than Belmont: a sleek ankle boot in a choice of either black or navy extra-supple leather with patent ankle panel for the look of a fashion boot but wider, deeper and the ultimate in comfort!

Removable leather ‘Air Comfort’ padded insoles allow you to remove the insoles to insert your own orthotic insole, or simply to create extra depth if required.

And you can be sure-footed with our lightweight, flexible rubber soles and stable 2 ¼” block heels.

Square toe shape and deep, seam-free toe box gives ultimate toe comfort without rubbing!

So many features. So much style. So comfy.

Our wide-fitting biker boot collection is the envy of all our competitors, and it just got even better, as we’ve introduced an AquastopTM water-resistant lining to some of our styles, meaning they’re not only the widest and deepest stylish boots available on the market, but probably the driest too!

Chirk is one of our brand-new biker-boot styles with water resistant lining and is already proving extremely popular this season - and it’s easy to see why.

A modern, rugged biker boot style with seaming detail, chunky, grippy rubber sole, 1 ½" low heel and inside zip for easy access.

Soft suede uppers in a raft of exciting colours that elevate this from another wide-fitting boot to a must-have boot for winter style.

I found high street walking boots are not wide enough for my feet so purchased Nebraska walking boot. Wow wow wow, very little "walking in" needed. Nice and wide for my fat feet, plenty of toe wiggle room.

Many of our boots are super-versatile and great for a range of activities, like our Smart Boots or Sporty Boots collections, where the styles are smart enough for heading out in, for walks in the woods and for anything in between.

Another difficult category to choose but we had to go for new high-top wedge trainer with stretch panels Antelope as our top sporty boot.

Striking in burgundy, black or gold leather with lace-up fastening for secure fit and zip for easy access, the ankle boot style provides extra support for active feet.

They open wide for easy foot entry, have removable insoles for insertion of orthotics and are great for feet that swell.

We have been working hard over the past few years to create a range of wide-fitting shoes and boots that are free of animal products and so suitable for vegans.

This season’s addition to this range is ankle boot Selby, a stylish casual boot that’s made with no animal products, so it’s perfectly suitable for vegans too.

In addition to being vegan-friendly, Selby is also bunion friendly in our new asymmetric toe-shape – suitable for all foot shapes – with laces fastening and zip for easy foot access.

The wedge heel sole adds height with stability and the grippy rubber outsole ensures you’ll be sure of foot on wintry days.

Better still, Selby is available in our wide 2V(EE-4E) and extra wide 6V(6E-8E) variable width fittings so it’s perfect for even the widest of feet.

Many people with diabetes have reduced sensations in their feet and also can have difficulty healing wounds. Therefore, to avoid diabetes related foot health issues it is important to ensure sufficient room in the shoe and avoid rubbing against skin. This makes seam-free toe boxes a must, and soft materials are ideal.

For bunions, any rubbing is going to cause a lot of pain and so, whilst for different reasons, avoiding rubbing is so important.

We have many boots that fit these criteria, including some styles listed above, such as Nebraska, Bayeux and Santa, but the list doesn’t end there.

Acre is a popular lace-up mid-length boot style that is ideal for people with diabetes or suffering from bunions, as they come with seam free square toe-box that allows plenty of room for toes and, lace-up fastening to hold the foot securely and reduce rubbing and is made from breathable suede.

There’s also an air-bubble, flared wedge sole which offers extra cushioning as well as support and stability you need.

Whilst they might offer the practical features you need to replace specialist boots, they look like stylish high street shoes and are a fraction of the cost of bespoke shoes.

So don’t hang about; discover Acre now »
