What is the difference between wide fitting shoes and Cosyfeet?

Over the last few years, footwear manufacturers have started to recognise that our feet are getting bigger and wider. As a result, there are now lots more wide shoes for women available on the high street. However, that doesn’t mean that they are roomy enough to fit swollen feet.

The majority of the wide-fitting shoes you’ll find on the high street for women are an E or EE width fitting. Occasionally you may find an EEE fitting. If your feet and ankles are swollen, you will probably need a much wider fitting than that. Cosyfeet is an EEEEE+ so it’s wider and deeper than ordinary wide-fitting footwear and is designed to fit swollen feet and ankles with ease.

Because of its extra depth, Cosyfeet footwear can also fit problem toes, bunions and bandaging. Some of our styles have removable insoles and footbeds to allow for orthotics. We also have a range of shoes with ‘hidden depth.’ This clever design allows your foot to sit below the sole line. This means that the extra depth is hidden within the shoe so it still looks neat and streamlined.What makes us different?
