The Ultimate Guide to Women’s Wide Width Sandals: 21 Top Picks

There are so many choices out there in the market, but not a lot of them are wide width sandals.

For those of us with bigger feet that don’t want sweaty feet in the summer heat, that creates a real problem.

Luckily, I’ve scoured the ‘net and found a ton of great wide choices.

If you’re looking for a comfy and fashionable choice, I’m laying out all of the different choices for you this summer.

Best wide width sandals or women

Editor’s Pick

1. On the Go Sunny Flip Flop by Skechers

These are the ULTIMATE pair of flip flops. They’re a little higher priced than some other choices, but I swear they’re worth it. I ALWAYS have a pair of these on hand, and they’re the shoes I get the most wear out of.

I’m not shy about Skechers being my favorite type of shoes to (comfortably) shove my wide feet into, and the On the Go Sunny Flip Flops are no exception.

These are my GO TO shoes for everything warm-weather related — granted, I do live on the beach in Mexico, so every day is a sandals day.

These shoes are comfortable and supportive, despite being flip flips. I’ve used them to walk all the way around Disneyland AND Universal Studios (not to mention the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Santa Monica Pier).

A pair has also roughed it with me through Cancun, Ixtapa, Merida, Progreso, and my home community of Chelem.

There is never an occasion where I don’t find these to be THE BEST pair of sandals, unless I’m hiking and need something a little more strappy.

If you’re looking for a solid flip flop, these are for you. And if you have massive, wide width feet, I swear they’ll totally fit!

Gladiator wide width sandals for women

Editor’s Pick

2. Geneeva Flat Gladiator by Journee Collection

I LOVE the look of these gladiator sandals by Journee. Not only are they elegant looking, but they go with anything from a casual jean short to a dressy beach-friendly romper.

Summer is here and one of the best ways to stay fashionable while enjoying the warm weather is with a pair of gladiator sandals.

It’s a myth that fat girls can’t wear these types of shoes, you just have to find the right pair, like the Geneeva Gladiator sandals.

These chic gladiator-style sandals come in wide width build so chubby feet fit.

The upper is made of faux leather to give you a casual or classy look, depending on the outfit.

And they feature a padded footbed to keep you comfy.

These cute shoes come in four fashionable colors including brown, white, black and nude. Pair them with a super cute pair of paperbag shorts.

3. Yaya Gladiator by LifeStride

If you want a gladiator style sandal that’s a little more elevated (both literally and figuratively), these LifeStride shoes are for you. Aren’t they hella cute?

If you’re looking for a dressier sandal, something like LifeStride’s Yaya Wedge heeled style is an ideal shoe. They come in full wide sizes, so you can find your perfect fit.

These are a modern, elegant version of a gladiator featuring a faux-leather upper with a stable 1¼-inch covered wedge heel.

They come in 3 neutral colors that will work for ANY look you’re going for. It’s a round open-toe slingback shoe that’s padded for comfort.

These are the perfect summer shoe for your next night on the town.

Wedge wide fit sandals

WEDGE

4. Nerisa West by Clarks

I loved a good cork wedge when I was a teen, and it seems like they’re back in.

The Nerisa West wedges are comfy, cute and perfect for a night on the town or an afternoon coffee date.

Clarks is a great brand that makes wide width shoes and if you’re looking for a dressy shoe then the Nerisa West is a great choice.

This is a bold chunky heel with a 3-inch heel and a  1 14 in platform. And the footbed is cushioned to keep you comfortable and the rubber sole helps to stop slip.

It comes in four other colours, features premium nubuck or leather upper and smooth textile upper lining. They are super cute and easy to walk in.

If you’re looking for a fashionable comfy shoe that’s great for a night out with the girls, this is your shoe.

Cute and casual, these platform wedges by Clarks are perfect for every day wear if you want a bit of a height boost. You can’t dress the colorful ones up all that great, but they’ll work great with casual pants.

Not all wedges have to be fit for a night out. If casual is your style, then these casual wedges by Clark might be perfect for you.

They have a rubber sole, soft cushion technology to keep you comfy and 2.5-inch heels.

Wearers describe them as being super comfortable and adorably cute — pair them with a skort for a functional-sporty look.

Flip flop sandals for women wide width

Flip flops

6. Cara Slide by Sam Edelman

I enjoy the casual unassuming look you get with these shoes. However, they’ll only work comfortably if you’re OK with flat shoes that don’t have a ton of support. I like them for a casual coffee date or museum outing.

Everyone’s familiar with a standard flip flop, so I thought we’d feature some more fashionable choices.

The Sam Edelman Cara flip flop has a cute aesthetic and comes in wide width for some of those with larger feet.

These cute shoes have a small 0.5-inch heel and they’re easy to slip on.

They come in six fashionable colors including white, peach (pictured), almond, black, pewter metallic and saddle.

7. Kirra by Viconic

PERFECT for an evening walk on the beach or a late night dinner, the Kirra sandals go with everything. They’re classy and casual, but clean up nicely — especially if you need to hit up a sandy beach wedding!

Traditionally, flip flops are great for wandering around in warm weather or visiting the beach, but they can also be worn for a night on the town.

If you’re looking for a dressy shoe, the Vionic Kirra Sandal is perfect. 

These flip flops come in 14 fashionable colors including the bronze that we’ve pictured.

They feature a fashionable leather upper, come in wide width sizes and feature a comfortable microfiber wrapped footbed to keep you comfy and reduce stress on your feet.

Flip flops

8. Arla Gilson by Clarks

These Arla Gilson flip flops feel like walking on clouds. I literally wore my pair until they disintegrated on my feet — I ultimately loved them.

If you want a cute flip flop that’s basic but hella comfy, then the Arla Gilson is for you.

I spend A LOT of time in my sandals, and I work the hell out of these bad boys. I have large feet — seriously, size 11 and hella wide — and these wore amazing.

They’re not quite as versatile as my Skechers (see the editor’s pick) which I wear pretty much EVERYWHERE. However, they’re perfect for your Cancun vacation.

These are NOT hiking shoes, they’re casual but comfortable flip flops. I wear them with a classic romper or jean shorts, but they pretty much go with anything.

You can get these shoes in medium and wide widths.
