26 Shoes Under $50 That Are Actually Comfortable For People With Wide Feet

Did I mention they’re stylish, too?!

by Daniel Boan BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I'm a Shopping Editor who uses my passion for hitting "add to cart" (and my 8+ years in media) to curate the best products on the web — I'm particularly passionate about finding the best beauty products, which probably stems from my days of working at Lush Cosmetics, where I learned about effective skincare ingredients while getting covered in bath bomb dust every day.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

As a fellow wide-foot baddie, I know finding shoes that are both comfy and stylish can feel like an impossible, um, ~feat.~ But leave it to the good people of the Amazon reviews section to make the impossible happen — they've found shoes that'll nab you tons of compliments and won't make your foot feel squished at the end of the day. From Birkenstock-esque sandals to surprisingly roomy heels, these shoe styles will fit fabulously and look just as good.

1. Platform wedges with a beaded design featuring SO many colors — meaning they'll match basically all of your outfits. Just throw 'em on and watch as everybody asks where you bought them. Reviewers also say the footbed is slightly "squishy," making them super comfy enough for all-day wear.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have a wide foot where you know how the littlest piggy don't want to fit? These keep my pinky toe in check. They are cute and comfortable. They're also true to size and easy to get on and off. They go with everything." —Lisa B

Get them from Amazon for $25.80+ (available in sizes 5–10 and 16 colors).

2. A truly impressive design that combines all the lightweight features of a fashion sneaker (flexible mesh upper!) with the heavy-duty durability of a traditional running sneaker (supportive air cushions!). Go crush those step goals!!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I picked up these sneakers to wear on a trip to Arizona so I would not have to wear my gym shoes. They were very comfortable and fit my feet just fine. I have wide feet and they were very comfortable all day and I did lots of walking." —Ronald S.

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10 and eight colors).

3. A pair of slip-on mules, which are an absolute comfy-chic must-have. They combine the ease of your favorite sandals with the versatility of your go-to flats. The super small heel makes them perfect for basically any occasion, and they're snug enough to keep you from sliding out of the open-back design.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I usually have a hard time finding comfortable and cute shoes that fit my wide feet but these are perfect. They get comfier every time I wear them and I wear them three to four times a week for work. My feet don’t slide and they don’t make any weird noises." —Tiffany P

Get them from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors).

4. A pair of cork footbed sandals that mold to the shape of your feet — and reviewers say they're just as good as similar but way more expensive options. The straps also feature an easily adjustable buckle for a more customized fit.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have wide feet with high arches, so finding shoes can be a nightmare. These are great! Classic look with lots of comfort." —ActBusy

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 5–13, two widths, and 26 colors).

5. A bestselling pair of Amazon Essentials flats — they've become a favorite of over 49,000 reviewers. They're super flexible right out of the package and extremely lightweight, so you'll basically be reaching for them all the time.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip flops, or sneakers. And I have to say, these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pair of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. Even though they're not leather, they do have some give to them. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89Top

Get it from Amazon for $21.70+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 22 colors).

6. Or a pair of functional and stylishpointed-toe flats that are wide enough to give you breathing room yet fitted enough to feel secure and supportive. I believe I've just introduced you to your new go-to office shoes. You're welcome.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are the first pair of comfortable flats I have owned. I’m a teacher and my feet swell from being on them all day. They are wide enough to not squeeze my feet, and the padding was amazing." —Latasha

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 17 colors).

7. A pair of faux-suede strappy sandals with a supportive chunky heel and an adjustable buckle at the ankle so you can power walk without fear of accidentally kicking them off and down the sidewalk.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great sandal for wide feet, even though there’s no wide or c/d option. Very walkable and comfortable, I love the straps." —Kina S.

Get them from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in sizes 5–10 and eight colors).

8. Adjustable ankle strap wedges that are so comfortable you'll never again think to yourself, "Ugh, why didn't I just wear sneakers!!!" Plus, the low wedge will add just enough height to ~elevate~ your spring-chic and summer-ready looks.

Amazon

Promising review: "I wore these as a bridesmaid in a wedding. The neutral nude color was exactly as it appeared. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were! I wore them ALL day, from before the ceremony until the time we got home after dancing all night at the reception. The low wedge was perfect for taking pictures outside in the grass. I have pretty wide/thick feet, and these shoes (in my normal shoe size) fit without issue." —E Rab

Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, two widths, and 18 colors).

9. Faux suede heels with a strappy lace-up design that's equal parts whimsical and stylish. The low, chunky heel also gets rave reviews for feeling supportive, sturdy, and surprisingly lightweight.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: These are honestly my favorite! For someone with wide feet, they fit like a glove! They are also very comfortable to wear all night. I'm definitely buying all the other colors!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 4.5–10.5 and 16 colors).

10. Dressy lace-ups that are way cuter than a pair of Oxfords has any right to be. That platform sole is truly next level and helps them achieve one of the most difficult shoe feats: looking both dressy and casual at the same time. 

Amazon

These are made of patent leather, and some reviewers say they require some breaking in before reaching their full comfort potential.

Promising review: "Thought the shoes were cute and read raving reviews, so I bought them. Wow! Sooo cute and extremely comfortable! I’m so excited about these! It feels like you’re walking on a cloud and I cannot believe the price I paid for them. Amazing deal. Highly recommend! They are not too narrow and they definitely don’t look like 'clown shoes' as someone mentioned. Adorable 10/10!" —Talia

Get them from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in 11 colors).

11. Braided rope sandals reviewers say are wide enough to comfortably support all your toes without feeling bulky and oversized. Plus, the straps will add a nice boho touch to your favorite summer dresses.

www.instagram.com

Promising review: "I love these! I bought them in yellow/gold and black for my European vacation. I have wide feet and I have problems finding shoes that are comfortable. The style works for me because they wrap around the wide part and they are soooo comfortable. I was amazed at how great they are!" —Jennifer

Get them from Amazon for $34.95 (available in sizes 5–11 and 25 colors).

12. Fashionable sneakers that are lightweight enough to throw in your gym bag thanks to the knitted upper, yet durable enough for an intense running session, thanks to the shock-absorbing air cushion. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “I wasn't sure what to expect buying a non-name-brand shoe for walking. As someone with foot issues (overpronator), I am pleasantly surprised by the comfort, support, and durability. The bright orange color is so cute too! My usual size fit and they have enough room in the toe box for my wide feet. 😊 Will definitely purchase again." —K. Ramsden

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in 19 colors).

13. A pair of Clarks to make you re-think every thing you ever knew about loafers. These aren't the boxy, stuffy designs you're probably used to — they're sleek and lightweight with enough stretch to let your feet breathe.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this shoe as a healthcare worker who didn't want to sacrifice style for comfort. Happy to report these shoes fit well (even for my wide feet!), look great, and feel great." —CW

Get it from Amazon for $36.84+ (available in sizes 5-12, three widths, and seven colors).

14. A pair of side-zip sneakers that are a hiding a big secret: there's a hidden wedge inside! You'll get all the lift and support of a normal wedge heel with the look of a classic sneaker — that's truly a win-win.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Fits perfectly! I have wide feet and they come in wide sizes. Perfect wiggle room in the toes and no areas that rub or poke. Both zippers work and the white part doesn’t have cheap stitching like other brands. They're comfortable and you can hardly tell there’s a hidden heel. I feel so tall!" —Jane

Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and 10 colors).

15. A classic pair of machine-washable Toms for the days when you need to slip something on quickly and have zero time to match it to your outfit. Don't worry — Toms go with everything. These have been a reviewer favorite for years thanks to their lightweight, barely-there feel. Oh, and socks are optional!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super comfortable, especially for wide feet... All shoes hurt my feet, but these were a dream come true. I have two pairs of these and I plan to get more. I love love love them. The colors are nice, too. I have received many compliments." —aavery

Get them from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).

16. A lightweight pair of sandals with built-in arch support that proves you don't have to give up comfort when you're craving the convenience of a classic flip-flop. The straps are lined with foam, meaning the days of endless flip-flop blisters are long behind you.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Outstanding, comfortable flip flops. Excellent arch support. Comparable to my Vionic flip flops, but at a better price. In addition, these flip flops accommodate my wide feet and bunions. They are true to size." —atallgirl777

Get them from Amazon for $28.59+ (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors).

17. Or! A pair of Clarks Cloudsteppers with an absolutely genius feature — an adjustable strap that can easily accommodate wide feet! No more hoping the straps stretch out in time for your beach vacay.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Clark's silver strap sandals are very comfortable. I have wide feet and just had to widen the front Velcro closure a bit, but no problem in doing so. Nice shiny silver, just what I was looking for." —Amazonian

Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 35 colors).

18. A pair of platform sandals that give you the classic espadrille sole without the often-uncomfy wedge design. The cork footbed also offers a good amount of arch support, so you won't regret opting for these when bottomless brunch turns into a whole afternoon of bar hopping.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Note: Amazon says these sandals run large.

Promising review: "I’m a very hard fit in shoes. I have wide feet with a very high arch. I struggle with Plantar Fasciitis, and I’m generally cautious with what I put on my feet. I LOVE these sandals, they’re wide enough that my feet fit in the footbed and don’t hang over the side. The straps aren’t too tight, they’re very comfortable, and didn’t make my feet hurt after standing in them for over 2 hours. The elastic band that goes around your ankle wasn’t too tight, and I could slide my foot right in. That’s something I usually cannot do because of my high arch." —Heckmack

Get them from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes 6–11, two widths, and five colors).

19. Rugged mid-calf rain boots with a cute quilted design that are almost too cute to get rained on. Reviewers say they're lightweight, easy to slip on and off, and provide plenty of traction.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these boots! They are comfortable to wear and look great. My feet are wide and I tend to have trouble with boots because they rub on my toes — these have plenty of room. Very pleased with the fit..." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in sizes 5–9.5 and seven colors).

20. Or a pair of waterproof shoes in vibrant pastel colors that could brighten up the rainiest of days. They're so much lighter and more stylish than your typical heavy rain boots, and reviewers say they're super supportive and comfy. Plus, nothing knocks the cool out of you like tripping over oversized galoshes. Let's leave those in springs past where they belong. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought these shoes for a two-week trip to Japan that unfortunately coincided with typhoons 19-21. These shoes were the business! They fit true to a standard Converse All-Star pair of shoes. I have wide feet, and these fit true to size without any problems with blisters, uncomfortable rubbing, etc. I didn't experience any leaks, and my feet stayed dry and comfortable despite having to endure some torrential downpours during my trip." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, low-top and high-top styles, and five colors).

21. A pair of faux leather Blowfish Malibu sandals — the fisherman-inspired straps and faux cork midsole give these a certain shoreline-chic aesthetic. Is that a thing? Well you're about to make it one!!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have short, wide feet and short toes, so sandals can be a challenge for me. For comparison, I also ordered a pair of Vionic sandals in a 5 wide that fit me perfectly and felt great, but looked more 'orthopedic' than I liked. These sandals support my feet better than I expected. There’s not much arch support, but there’s support in the heel area, and I’ve walked in them for several hours with no blisters or sore feet, so I plan to take them with me on a trip to Greece, where I expect to do a lot of walking. They’re really cute with shorts, palazzo pants, and summer skirts, and the price is very reasonable." —LH

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and 16 colors).

22. A pair of Cushionaire cork footbed sandals with insoles made of suede and memory foam that form to your feet over time. Plus, the adjustable straps will give you an even more customized fit, so you'll feel like these were tailor-made just for you.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "They are so comfortable. I have a wide foot and I am heavy, but I feel very secure in these. It cups and cradles my foot so nicely. I've gone on vacation and worn them during outings where I've walked miles upon miles and no foot pain or blisters. After owning them for all this time, the back is worn down to the cork, but there is still life left in them. Will definitely be purchasing another pair I like them better than the Birks." —Katrinab

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and 20 colors).

23. A pair of sock-sneakers — they're breathable enough for jogging on a warm summer day yet cozy enough for taking a stroll in the winter, so they're about to be your year-round go-to shoe. The air cushion also keeps them bouncy and supportive enough to keep your feet feeling their best on all your afternoon walks.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have very wide feet, hammer toes, big ankles, and very tender feet that never recovered from bunion surgery. With these shoes, I was able to walk around San Francisco with just a couple of corn pads and not be in excruciating pain at the end of the day. With my wide ankles, it takes a bit of doing to get these shoes on, but once I do, they are comfortable everywhere. Lots of ankle support so my feet stay put but give me toes wiggle room. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than usual to give my toes the room they need. There is also room for orthotics." —Julie

Get it from Amazon for $27.19 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 23 colors).

24. A pair of Rocket Dog colorblock sneakers so your outfits can be serious at the top and quirky at the bottom. Also, several colors mean they will go with just about anything.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been wearing Rocket Dog shoes since high school and they never disappoint! As a teacher, I’m on my feet all day and these are perfect since they are well padded and have great support. They are very flexible and are amazing if you have wider feet. You can’t pass these up especially at this price!" —SSchmitz

Get them from Amazon for $31.13+ (available in sizes 6–13 and in 41 colors).

25. Water-resistant Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers that I predict will become your new go-to travel shoe. Easy to slip off in the security line and has enough traction for rainy weather?! Yeah, these are about to see the inside of several airports.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I bought this for a business trip for the time when I might have to do a little more walking than usual, but also wanted something that looked a little nice. These were so comfortable that I use them every day at home after the trip. I also have very wide feet and these fit perfectly." —DesertMom

"These are a perfect sneaker for leggings, dresses, shorts, anything really. This is my third pair. The memory foam makes these sneakers feel like you're walking on clouds. I have been buying a pair every spring for the last three years. They hold up to all types of weather." —Danielle Tricomi

"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day, even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." —S. Lee

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4–14, including wide sizes, and in 18 styles).

26. Timeless Franco Sarto loafers — they're as durable and business-chic as they are comfy. They have a cushiony insole and contoured padding at pressure points to keep you supported all day long.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you're between sizes, most reviewers suggest getting the smaller size. 

Promising reviews: "I was really hesitant to buy patent black shoes. I thought it would be too shiny and over the top. But I'm obsessed. These are super cute and fit like a glove. I'm a size 9 with a little bit of a wide foot, and these are super comfy. Just enough space that you could wear these all day and feel like you're walking on a cloud. Definitely going to buy some other colors." —Kristy Vasquez

Get them from Amazon for $44+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in in a variety of styles).
