Top 10 Wide-fitting wedding shoes for 2023

Wedding season is upon us and it's time to make sure we're decked out for the occasion!
We know all too well about the classic wedding dilemma, especially when you have wide, deep or problem feet:
"I want to look great and have pretty shoes that match my outfit, but I also want to enjoy the day without worrying about how much my feet hurt."
Of course, it's a wedding and you want to look your best, but you'd be surprised how many of our customers tell us that, before they discovered DB Wider Fit Shoes, they used to take or wear trainers or flip flops to weddings because their wedding shoes were just too painful, especially when they're on their feet a lot and want to have a boogie!
But that changes when they discover our dress shoes!
We design our dress and occasion shoes like we design ALL our wide and extra-wide fitting shoes: where comfort is Queen.
We use the same design features that we use in other styles to enable us to produce slimmer looking, less bulky styles to look dainty and pretty for the occasion, even in extra-wide fittings.
We use thin, soft materials like our stretch fabrics that mould to the shape of your feet to reduce rubbing and allow some "give" and include air-comfort insoles to ensure total comfort, all day.
So here's our rundown of the best wide and extra-wide fitting wedding shoes for 2023:

The Best Wedding Sandals
Brand new heeled sandals Curlew and Lapwing are just stunning for weddings in the sun this year.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that, with looks like this, these styles wouldn’t be practical, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!
Curlew has 3 adjustable straps with buckle fitting for ultimate adjustability, each of which can be cut to the correct length for your fit.
Lapwing has a sleek lace-up design that adjusts to any foot shape and a removable tongue to let you choose your design. Additionally, although labelled as a 2V (EE - 4E) fitting, the laces on Lapwing can be adjusted to fit up to a 6E fitting.
The square toe shape on both designs offers plenty of room of toes and the 2 ¼” block heels offer height with stability.
Both styles are available in three great colours: black, taupe or silver for the perfect look with any outfit.
