There’s nothing like a pair of chic boots to tie an outfit together — and if you have wide feet, there are lots of options to pick from. The best boots for wide feet are generously sized for comfort, with toe boxes that give you plenty of wiggle room. They come in a variety of heights and styles, from low-cut ankle booties to knee-high riding boots to hiking boots.

As far as fit goes, a wide foot in women’s shoes is considered to be anywhere between 3.1 inches and 5.8 inches, depending on shoe size (with width increasing as the shoe size gets bigger). However, most brands don’t offer specific measurement guidance — rather, they offer specific “wide” and “extra-wide” styles that are designed to have a roomier fit, which helps make the shopping process a little more foolproof. And while boot shape is a matter of preference, as a general rule of thumb, you may want to opt for shoes with bigger toe boxes to avoid pinching and discomfort. Also, if you’re going for higher boots and have wider calves, look for options designed for wide calves or boots with knit panels for a stretchy fit.

When it comes to style, wide-width boots come in an array of heights and designs. Whether you’re looking for a casual ankle boot you can wear while running errands, a durable, water-resistant hiking boot you can hit the trails in, or anything in between, there are plenty of choices.

Below, I’ve rounded up a diverse selection of the best boots for wide feet, and each pair comes highly recommended from reviewers.

According to a reviewer: “I love these Chelsea boots. I get compliments from random people on the street when I wear them. They are a true navy blue color that goes great with jeans.
