Widths for Women’s Shoes

Women's shoe widths refer to the amount of space the shoe provides across the foot, specifically in the toe box and midfoot area. Shoe widths are denoted by letters, with each letter representing a different width measurement. Here's a breakdown of Clarks’ women's shoe widths:

• Narrow (C): Narrow widths are designed for women with slimmer feet and provide less room across the foot. Shoes with narrow widths are ideal for individuals with narrow or low-volume feet.

• Standard (D): Standard widths, also known as regular widths, are the most common and typically accommodate the majority of foot shapes. They offer a balanced amount of space across the foot and are suitable for individuals with average foot widths.

• Wide (E): Wide widths are designed for women with wider feet or those who require additional room in the toe box and midfoot area. Wide-width shoes provide more space across the foot for enhanced comfort and accommodate a broader range of foot shapes.

• Extra Wide (EE): Extra wide widths offer the most generous amount of space across the foot and are designed for women with exceptionally wide feet or specific foot conditions that require ample room. Extra wide-width shoes provide maximum comfort and support for those who need additional width.

Try Before You Buy

Whenever possible, try on shoes in-store to ensure the perfect fit. Walk around and assess comfort, support, and overall feel before making a purchase.
