Wide feet people, where do you find stylish shoes/ankle boots that are comfortable?

[switchoffplease]

I’m particularly looking for some loafers, and some ankle boots with a side zip. Every pair I put my feet in just feel uncomfortably tight. I need plenty of space for my toes too! Any suggestions gratefully received, thank you.

Have you tried M and S? I think their boots are quite wide fitting,?

I've got 3 pairs of these in different colours, they are proper wide, might need to size down

Hotter! I’m turning into my MIL, but their shoes are just sooooo comfortable.
Wide feet, high instep, a dainty size 9.

I’ll qualify that by saying only about 5% of their styles could be classed as stylish. But seek out that elusive 5% and you won’t regret it.

Gabor (at John Lewis/Charles Clinkard), Dr Martens. Clarks used to be a good bet, but I feel like they have fewer E fit styles than they used to.

M and S

I've always found m&s wide fit shoes and boots really comfortable. Pavers can also be good and Moshulu (although had issues with zip jamming on last set from there)

Yep, I have hotter boots in three different colours. I would love to branch out to some different styles, but it's always depressing trying on a million uncomfortable pairs from elsewhere.

Vagabond have quite wide sizes. I have also got Russell & Bromley boots that fit. I find boots much easier than shoes in this respect. I usually size up a half size.

Second pavers , not hotters as even their wide fit is not wide enough , heavenly feet are reasonably priced and have lasted for me https://www.heavenlyfeet.co.uk/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&page=3&q=boots

I've worn a pair of Hotter murmur boots to death over the past year. Very comfortable but sizing is a bit off so be prepared to try on / send back.

Shoe Tailor and Clarks both used to be good, but I think Shoe Tailor have closed and Clarks do a much smaller range now. Mostly granny type shoes now in E or EEE.
Have tried some boots from Pavers but they weren't quite wide enough for me, had to return.
I feel your pain trying to find decent shoes in wider styles. I don't think you can buy online, well for me at least it's essential to try on.

I’m noting the recommendations here but also adding that I have taken to buying men’s wide fit to get a wide enough toe box.

I have sometimes found them at M&S or Clarks.

The issue I have with pavers is that their wide fit are randomly placed all over the shop, not in a specific section. I therefore need to sift through every shoe and check the label if its wide fit.

I 'think' M&S instore might be similar, but I recall their labels being clearer and now I know how they fit, I can order my size online.

As others have said I have got some boots in the past from M& S wide fit . Can sometimes be hit or miss though .
i find if I go up a 1/2 side or a size I can sometimes fit into the larger size and can use thicker socks / or an insole .
I also find that sone lace up boots can be a bit more forgiving if you don’t tighten them too much .
I gave up long ago of trying to find wide fit knee length boots that I liked .
I have also had fly boots in the past from. If you can get to a shoe shop rather than ordering online you can try on different styles for fit .

Thanks everyone, I am reading through all your suggestions

Another vote for Moshulu here!

Thank you everyone this is really helpful

I can second Gabor. I have a pair of chunky loafers for work from there. They're really smart and the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Even more comfy than my favourite trainers.
