The best women’s running shoes for wide feet

After 5 hours of research, I list the best women’s running shoes for runners with wide feet. 

If you’re a runner, who like me, has wide feet, these shoes are for you.

Brands have standard-width shoes but also wider models. Many times that little extra width is enough.

Let’s pay attention to these references. What do 2E and 4E mean?

The best women’s running shoes for wide feet

1. Brooks Adrenaline Gts 22

Pros

  • For runners with wide and/or flat feet comfort is always an issue. But not with this shoe as the toe box room is wide enough.
  • It’s exceptionally well put together and the comfortable and spacious interior has no hot spots.
  • A reliable running shoe whether you run 2 or 12 miles.

Cons

  • Some runners mention that there’s a 25-mile break-in period. 
  • The 12mm hill drop could make it slightly harder to relax the pace.
  • If you frequently run on wet surfaces, this shoe has only an average grip.

  • If you run in hot weather, this shoe is quite breathable.
  • This shoe is designed for runners doing varied distance runs over varied terrain.
  • Great grip. It should work on anything you throw at it, rain or shine.

Cons:

  • Very cushioned but heavier shoe so not recommended for speedy sessions. 
  • Some runners mention that there’s a longer than normal break-in period.
