We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but knowing your shoe size isn't enough to ensure a comfortable fit. Width is also a factor, and ensures you won't need a foot soak at the end of the night to relieve your tired, achy feet. That being said, we'll admit that figuring out width numbers and letters is confusing.

If you're like most people, your feet aren't perfectly shaped. You might be able to determine whether you have narrow, standard, or wide feet by how your shoes currently feel while you're wearing them. Consider how they feel in the footbed or if they feel tight, constricted, or painful. Either way, knowing how to pair your feet with the right width shoe is key for a comfortable fit.

How to Choose a Shoe Width

Your shoe size typically has a letter next to it that refers to its width. Generally, the more letters there are, the more extreme the fit. For example, AAAA, or 4A, is more narrow than AAA, or 3A. EEEE, or 4E, is wider than EEE, or 3E. If you've tried measuring your feet yourself and are still unsure about what your true size is, the best thing you can do is visit a shoe store and get properly sized by a knowledgeable salesperson.
