Just ordered some trainers recommended on Mumsnet Swears By which arrived this morning - nice style but so narrow - sending them back! Any recommendations please for trainers which fit wider feet with some support and comfort? Seems an impossible task at the moment! Thanks!

Maybe you could give us a bit more steer on what you are looking for? Nice is very subjective as we all have such different style. Agree it can be hard to find something comfortable and stylish!

Have you tried New Balance? On their website you can filter shoes by width and many styles are available in a wide or extra wide fit.

For running new balance do a women’s wide fit D but not sure about a “fashion” trainer. I always struggle with other shoes.

The best I've found are Topo athletic but I share your frustration that many wide fit trainers/boots aren't wide, especially in the toe box. Naturcontact are good too.

Hotter or Sketchers.

I’m a barefoot convert, but one with narrower feet. I’ve bought Feelgrounds and Koels which I genuinely think look nice as well as being foot shaped so my feet aren’t squashed at the toe.

BarefootBrit on instagram and Facebook has LOADS of reviews and examples of different styles and she has extremely wide feet. Some of them so look a bit “clown shoe” ish, but I think you can also find stylish examples.

M&S or Clarks?
