Want to luck up on the best summer heels forย wide feet? Keep reading!

Unfortunately, many shoe brands arenโ€™t fat-feet-friendly and fail to cater to wider sizes. If youโ€™re aย full-figuredย woman with flat, heavy soles, the chances of finding cute footwear that isnโ€™t an everyday sneaker or slide can (sometimes) be daunting.

With the warmer months, pumps and wedges are the ultimate completion to a spring-ish romper or summery skort. The fight for inclusivity goes far beyond the clothes on our backs, as larger people still arenโ€™t much considered, even down to the shoes we rock orย planeย seats we ride in.

Thankfully, more corporations have heard the cry and expanded their collections to provide choices for a broader range of foot types โ€” without the outside stresses of backup flip-flops or insufficient support.

Before we get into these comfortable selections, letโ€™s touch on a few tips to keep handy upon purchase.

Tips on Walking in the Best Summer Heels for Wide Feet

As a bigger individual, prancing around in heels can be difficult and even painful, especially if you carry a lot of weight in your legs. However, itโ€™s important to remember that regardless of societyโ€™s forced ideologies โ€”ย youโ€™re allowed to own the runway,ย too! Be it through the aisles of your favorite fashion outlet or down the sidewalk to your car. Here are some things to keep in mind when strutting effectively:

  • Practice makes perfect:ย If youโ€™re usually not one to sport heels, get your feet used to them before casual, everyday wear. The more you test them out, the easier it is to master the technique. According toย Cosmopolitan, doing this on carpet, implementing sandpaper, and walking in a heel-then-toe rhythm is essential for safety precautions.
  • Start with platforms: The fatter heels attached to these offer nice assistance for those battling lower back issues or learning to maintain balance. And, yes, they can be just as aesthetically pleasing as a six-inch Louboutin!ย 
  • Choose the right fit:ย Slim-fitted pumps with a narrow toe area are a no-go. Buying them in person? Try them on, and see if you can walk/stand hassle-free. Adding them to your online shopping cart? READ THE REVIEWS! Also, pay attention to whether theyโ€™re tight around your ankle and how much wiggle room you have. Shoes that squeeze or require much tugging over the back arenโ€™t ideal if expected to be worn long. Picking pairs with thicker platforms is key as well.
  • Know your limits:ย This coincides with point #2, but pulling out a kitten heel is OK if you canโ€™t tackle the โ€œupper echelon.โ€ The higher the heel, the worse experience youโ€™ll have if thatโ€™s just not your speed. Set your own trendsโ€ฆ and do it your way.
  • Check your posture/stance:ย Holding your head up and looking straight ahead will assist your stride. The focus should be on shifting your weight from side to side to keep a steady pace.ย 
  • Invest in add-on accessories:ย This last piece of advice may be the most vital. We recommend grabbing foot cushions and/or anti-slip shoe grips to prevent your feet from sliding. Tripping over your stilettos isnโ€™t whatโ€™s up!
