Winter boots are a staple for the season, and for wide feet, comfort and space are key. Here are the top boot styles trending this winter:

Chunky sole boots continue to dominate the fashion scene, making them perfect for wide feet thanks to their generous fit and supportive platform. In our winter range, expect to see options in both ankle and mid-lengths, different lacing styles and added comfort features such as water-resistant linings and wider toe boxes through our asymmetric toe shape. Pair them with skinny jeans or oversized sweaters for a trendy, winter-ready look. Suggested styles: Suede biker boots Chirk, Pershore and Ampthill feature our chunky lug-sole in lace-up options, with zip fastening Hay a slip-on option.

Chelsea boots are a timeless classic, but this winter they’re getting a makeover. For wide feet, opt for styles with stretchy side panels like Lakewood, to allow for more flexibility and comfort. Lakewood’s other twist features include our thicker wedge-sole for extra height and a striking floral suede colour option for that extra edgy feel.

Ankle boots are a versatile option for winter and are perfect for adding a chic touch to any outfit. For wide feet, look for styles with side zippers or elastic panels, which allow for easy wear and a bit of stretch. This winter, you’ll find in our range ankle boots in a variety of materials, from classic leather, faux-leather and sporty styles in leather & suede. The season’s trending colours include neutral tones like beige, brown, and grey, as well as bold reds and light blues. Ankle boots pair beautifully with jeans, skirts, or even dresses with tights, making them a wardrobe staple. Suggested styles: Leather casual ankle-boot Hitchin features our asymmetric toe shape to follow the shape of your foot for extra comfort, alongside our wedge sole for extra height with stability (more about wedge soles this winter).

Winter shoes for wide feet have evolved to include both style and comfort. From smart-casual to dressy options, here are the season’s top choices.

Loafers are perfect for milder winter days, and they’re versatile enough to wear to work or out for dinner. For wide feet, we offer styles with rounded toe boxes and cushioned insoles. Chunky loafers like Kirby are also trending this season, with lug soles and embellishments like metal chains or tassels for added flair. Go for classic black or try out deep colours like navy or burgundy for a different feel. Suggested styles: Classic bit-loafer Nicolette has a snazzy chain-link bit and soft leather ruched uppers, whilst Kemble features a tassel detail and smooth uppers and a patent option for a smarter feel.

The classic Mary Jane shoe has made a comeback this winter, offering a vintage-inspired option for wide feet. Look for styles with adjustable straps, which allow for a custom fit over wider areas. This season’s Mary Janes often feature thicker soles and rounded toes, like on featured style Liskeard, perfect for adding both comfort and style. Available in deep hues like red, and navy, they can be paired with everything from tights and skirts to wide-leg trousers.

For casual, everyday wear, trainers are a winter essential. Fortunately, wide-fitting trainers are always a staple of our Autumn Winter ranges, ensuring that style and comfort go hand in hand.

High-top trainers are perfect for winter, providing extra ankle support and a bit of insulation. Our wide-fit high-tops, like Antelope, Flat and more, come with adjustable lacing and padded ankle collars, ensuring a comfortable fit for broader feet. High-tops can easily be styled with jeans, joggers, or even dresses and tights for a trendy, casual look.

Classic trainers never go out of style, and this winter they’re a fantastic choice for wide feet, with many brands offering wider footbeds and more flexible materials. In our range you’ll find classic trainers with supportive soles and timeless designs —think simple, clean lines, with features for wider feet like zips to aid easy-access and clever stretch panels. Classic trainers are highly versatile and can be paired with anything from jeans to joggers, offering a laid-back, casual look for everyday wear. Suggested styles: Classic suede lace-up Harrier is available in bold red, blue or tan whilst Whitworth features metallic patterned stretch panels for extreme comfort.

Wedge soles provide a comfortable way to add a bit of height while maintaining stability—an essential feature for anyone with wider feet. You’ll find wedge soles across out boots, trainers and everyday shoe ranges this season, offering a blend of style and support.

Wedge boots are both stylish and functional, providing added lift without the discomfort of a traditional heel. For those with wide feet, look for wedge boots with a broader toe box and adjustable laces or side zippers, which allow for a more personalized fit. This winter’s wedge boots are crafted from soft suede and leather, and they come in warm, earthy tones like tan, burgundy, and classic black. These versatile boots pair well with jeans and long coats, creating a sleek, elongated look that’s ideal for winter. Suggested styles: Mid-length suede boot Acre features a square toe shape and knitted ankle collar for toasty ankles all winter long on a sporty wedge sole. Leather lace-up combat style boot Buckingham and strap-fastening ankle boot Hitchin are built on our asymmetric wedge sole to follow the shape of your foot for comfort.

Wedge trainers are a growing trend in athleisure, blending the comfort of a sneaker with the added height of a wedge. Wide feet can benefit from wedge trainers that feature soft materials, like knit or mesh, and flexible soles that adapt to your foot’s natural shape. Soft light colours like found on Arabia, and styles with metallic accents like Cockatoo and textures like Fleet’s crinkly patent & snake print colour option are popular this season, making our wide-fitting wedge trainers suitable for both casual and slightly dressier occasions. Wedge trainers are a great choice if you’re looking for something comfortable but a bit more elevated than a traditional training style.

Our wedge soles are so popular, for the reasons outlined above, that we’ve extended their usage to our everyday lines too. For total style, support and comfort, look for wedge styles with stretch panels, like Worth, a slip-on shoe with zip fastening and clever stretch panels.

Nothing says winter quite like cosy slippers. For wide feet, slippers with ample space and soft linings are a must, and our wide-fitting slippers also feature built-in back stiffeners (except for backless styles, for obvious reasons) and hard-wearing soles, many of which can be worn outside.

Here are some of the trendiest options for 2024/2025.

Slippers with straps offer both style and functionality, making them a great choice for wide feet. Our adjustable straps allow for a customised fit, especially over wider areas. Our slippers often come with soft linings and supportive soles, like Ivy, perfect for lounging around the house on colder days. Trending colours include warm neutrals like mauve, cream, aqua green and soft grey, found on styles like Fountain which add a touch of elegance to your loungewear.

Pump slippers are a delightful choice for cosy winter days when you want a touch of elegance in your loungewear. Designed with a soft, ballet flat-inspired shape, these slippers are both stylish and comfortable, making them perfect for wide feet. Our pump slippers, like Thetford, Pedro and more, feature elasticated topline and soft materials that hug the foot gently, ensuring a secure fit without squeezing. This feature helps keep the slippers on comfortably without slipping off, and flexible, lightweight soles are perfect for both lounging and light indoor activity. Pump slippers are versatile enough to pair with anything from pyjamas to casual loungewear, adding a touch of chic cosiness to your winter routine.

Bootie slippers offer extra coverage, keeping your feet and ankles warm throughout the winter. For wide feet, look for options with stretchy materials, as found on the extremely soft Malton, or adjustable closures to ensure a comfortable fit. Many bootie slippers this season come with soft faux fur linings, like Galilee, and durable soles, allowing you to wear them around the house or even for quick trips outside.
