6 Best Sneakers For Wide Feet in 2025

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 offers generous room and highly cushioned and responsive strides in a lightweight package. Its comfort felt undeniable in our wear tests, and our lab results confirm its effortless sensation through its flexible midsole. Because of its versatile and accommodating nature, it’s our best wide sneaker overall.

We immediately brought out our caliper to confirm the roomy sensation we felt. The sneaker width measured 95.4 mm, 3.1 mm above average, offering extra real estate for those with broad feet or bunions. We never experienced any unwanted pressure, even when our feet got swollen.

Despite its expansive build, it maintains a light 11.1 oz (316g) figure, 19.2% below average. Its weightless sensation is further enhanced by the fluid midsole, which emerged 17.4% more bendable than average in our flex test. All these features lead to an easy and relaxing experience.

Even though it features a near-average stack, the Vomero 5 feels more cushioned because of the two Zoom Air units that spoil our feet with gentler landings and springy toe-offs. The cushion itself also measures softer than average at 28.0 HA, keeping our feet happy all day long.

We recommend exercising caution when handling the upper because it’s the most prone to damage based on our Dremel test results.

With its porous mesh, generous dimensions, and airy build, the Nike V2K Run is the best wide summer sneaker we’ve tested. Our feet enjoyed its refreshing ride, while our lab results validate its pleasant aura through its light and flexible build and remarkable ventilation.

The V2K Run doesn’t allow sweat and heat to build up even during the hottest days. In the lab, the smoke we pumped into the shoe instantly escaped, and we couldn’t help but award it the maximum 5/5 breathability score. This aligns with the breezy experience we had in our walks.

It’s a breath of fresh air, further enhanced by its feathery and bendable midsole. Our scales show it’s only 11.1 oz (315g), 19.4% lighter than average! In our flex test, it emerged 43.8% more adaptive than average, boosting its adaptability and maneuverability.

Comfort is enhanced by its broad dimensions. Using our gel mold, we measured the sneaker width at 95.8 mm. Being 3.8% wider than average, even those with bunions won't have any unwanted pressure. However, its toebox tapers more aggressively than average. Those who require more space for wide feet or swollen toes should consider a different pair.

The Adidas Ozweego puts comfort at the forefront with its roomy fit, plush midsole, and expansive base, making it the best chunky wide sneaker we’ve tested. Despite its generous dimensions, we were surprised to see its light build in the lab!

Ozweego's cushioning feels like a running shoe, and our durometer confirms it’s 8.2% softer than average at 26.8 HA. Its plush sensation also comes from its above-average stack height of 32.2/24.7 mm, offering endless relief for our legs during long hours of walking.

At its widest section near the ball of the foot, we measured this sneaker to be 6.1% wider than average. This extra space makes it forgiving even for those with wide or swollen feet or bunions.

Both the 121.0 mm forefoot and the 98.9 mm heel emerged much broader than average, delivering a secure and well-planted sensation. This sneaker is far from streamlined, so we were surprised to see a light weight of 12.7 oz (360g). Despite its chunky appearance, it managed to be under the 13.8 oz (391g) average.

Unfortunately, its structure is quite stiff. Those who prefer a more natural and agile feel should find a more free-flowing sneaker.

The Nike Air Max DN is an icon, not just for its looks but for its exceptional craftsmanship. Lab tests reveal it’s made of tough materials, but doesn’t feel like it on foot! On the contrary, it actually feels really gentle because of its low weight, high flexibility, and generous dimensions. Therefore, it’s our best durable wide sneaker. 

The AM DN offers maximum breathability, so we tested out its upper’s wear resistance. To our surprise, our Dremel’s “damage” was so hard to spot, we immediately gave it a 5/5 toebox durability score. We’d award it with a higher rating if we could! Even in the outsole, the dent our Dremel caused was a minimal 0.6 mm vs. the 1.1 mm average, assuring us of its longevity.

Thankfully, these sturdy materials didn’t come at the expense of weight and rigidity. Our scales show this sneaker is on the lighter side at 13.1 oz (370g), 5.4% below average. Meanwhile, it emerged 12.4% more bendable than the average lifestyle shoe, making it feel more natural on foot.

Comfort is further enhanced through its massive 96.1 mm width. With 4.1% extra room vs. the average, those with wide feet can relax in this shoe. However, its toebox has limited vertical clearance, so those who don’t want any toe jamming should choose alternatives.

The Adidas Campus 00S combines chunky and retro aesthetics with a secure experience. We felt exceptionally surefooted during our wear tests as our lab results confirmed its broad, firm, and grounded base. With its monochromatic color scheme, it’s easy to style and appeals to various age groups, making it our best classic wide sneaker.

Our feet felt comfortable and well-planted due to Campus 00S’ unrestrictive fit. Using our gel mold, we measured the sneaker width at 95.5 mm. With 3.5% more space than average, even those with broad feet or bunions will feel at home.

The Campus 00S features a low profile, with precise measurements of 24.6/14.5 mm. It leaves us with a sufficient buffer from the ground, while still providing the surface connection we need to improve control. Our durometer also shows the cushion is a firm 37.1 HA, 27.1% harder than average, which translates to a stable ride.

Unfortunately, its weight was a burden, leading to tired feet after a full day of walking. At 14.9 oz (422g), it’s 7.9% heavier than average. Those seeking an agile experience won’t find that here.

The Vans Knu Skool has a retro skater vibe from the 90s, and our board sessions tell us it’s the best skate shoe among the wide sneakers we tested. In the lab, we measured one of the lowest stack heights and one of the highest flexibility scores we’ve seen, making the sneaker easy to maneuver with our skateboard.

While wearing the Knu Skool, we felt its stack was really close to the ground. Using our caliper, we discovered it’s even the lowest sneaker in the lab so far, measuring 18.2/10.6 mm vs. the 30.4/19.2 mm average. This low stack actually offers an awesome board connection, allowing us to perform ollies and kick turns with better precision and control.

The low stack not only stabilizes the ride but also improves the sneaker’s flexibility. In our bend test, it emerged a whopping 31.2% more bendable than average. At this level, Knu Skool adjusts easily with our feet as we perform tricks.

We observed generous sneaker width, confirmed by our caliper measurement of 96.5 mm vs. the 92.3 mm average, making even those of us with wide feet or bunions feel at home.

Because Knu Skool lacks cushioning and impact absorption, we can’t recommend it to those who intend to use it for walking all day.
