ABOUT US
Welcome to Wyde Footwear.
Most sneakers today prioritize looks or trends first. Shape comes later. Movement even later. We believe it should be the other way around.
So we build shoes that respect the natural form of the foot, feel good to wear, and still look sharp — without compromise.
WE ARE WYDE FOOTWEAR
Founded by brothers Melker and Rasmus Svärd, Wyde started with a simple question:
Why do so many sneakers look great — yet feel limiting to wear?
As lifelong sneaker enthusiasts with a deep interest in human movement and biomechanics, we’d experienced it firsthand:
Shoes that looked the part, but felt restrictive. Narrow shapes. Stiff soles. Designs that didn’t match how feet actually move.
That frustration became the starting point.
We set out to reimagine the sneaker from the ground up — literally.
Foot-shaped. Fashion-forward. Function-led.
FEET DESERVE FREEDOM
That belief guides everything we do.
That’s why every pair of Wyde Footwear is carefully shaped to follow the natural outline of the foot — giving your toes space, your stance balance, and your movement room to feel unrestricted.
No overbuilt solutions.
No unnecessary features.
Just sneakers that make sense.
“Designing sneakers that respect human anatomy while still feeling visually sharp is a challenge — and one we genuinely love. Every detail matters.”
- Melker, co-founder & CEO
“As a former athlete with a background in physiotherapy, I’ve spent years thinking about movement and foundations. Wyde is our way of translating that thinking into everyday footwear.”
- Rasmus, co-founder & head of physiotherapy

Functional Fashion: My Foot Function’s Take on Wyde
REVOLUTIONARY!!!
The only pair of shoes that have wide toe box and a cool modern design.
Other brands wide toe box shoes have old and objectively ugly designs.
The Arcus are currently the most comfortable and elegant sneakers I have.
Wydefootwear is on top in terms of innovation and it will be hard for me to change brand.
Best shoes. Absolutely love these shoes. They are honestly the best shoes I have ever worn. So so comfy.
Love them! Arcus is fantastic for us with foot problems. I am greatly satisfied.
Underbara skor!
Helt underbara skor! Jag har ett par Arcus i svart som jag nu bor i. Jag vill inte ha några andra skor nu och kommer därför beställa även hallux omgående.
Is so good
