why get functional footwear?

We aim to reintroduce the innate human foot function that we believe can be restored in nearly everyone. Our shoes are meticulously designed to mirror the form of real feet, ensuring that you don't have to compromise between style and comfort. You deserve both, and we're here to deliver.
Love
Happier feet

We have assisted thousands of individuals in breaking free from tight shoes and reclaiming their foot freedom.

Pen and ruler
Supports Natural Foot Alignment

In our observational project, ‘The Shoe Effect,’ we saw how modern footwear can contribute to altered foot shapes.

Settings
Improve Mobility and Flexibility

We believe that the foot plays a central role in overall bodily function. Experience it for yourself!

Medal
Foot Strength

Research suggests that wearing functional footwear can improve measurable foot strength, with some studies showing improvements of up to 57.4%.

What Makes Wyde Unique?

Checkmark Wide Toe Box for optimal function Plus

Our shoes have a wide toe box that lets your toes spread out the way they're meant to. A lot of brands say this, but we actually do it.

This means your feet can be in their natural shape, and your big toe stays straight. This is good for your toes because it helps them stay aligned, strong, and work properly.

Checkmark Flexible where it matters Plus

The sole of our shoes is really bendy, which means your foot can move freely. This flexibility is great for your big toe, as it helps it move well, which is important when you walk or run. It helps your foot change between being flexible and firm at the right times while you're walking.

Checkmark Zero Drop & No Toe Spring Plus

Our shoes are designed so your weight is evenly spread across your whole foot when you stand or walk. This helps you walk and move in a more natural way. It's also good for the muscles in your heels and calves because it lets them move fully and get stronger. Plus, our shoes help the muscles in your foot work better and support the arch of your foot naturally.

I am in love with my Maia slides!

I am in love with my Maia slides! The first shoe that fits my extreme wide foot without compromise. The light but very soft cushioning makes it even more comfortable. I will be a future customer for more shoes from wyde. The only thing that I would have to mention is the size guide that scanned my foot. It did not recommend the right size (one size too small). But suspecting this I ordered one size bigger and I am ery happy with it. Thanks guys for bringing this kind of shoes to the market. By the way: found you thru Anya's weekly shoe review.

Skön sko

Skön sko,håller leveranstiden och att man kunde scanna in sin fotstorlek tyckte jag var bra annars hade jag defenitivt valt fel storlek. Nu kunde jag ta en storek mindre än vad jag brukar ha och det sitter perfekt

Mais Black är mycket sköna för fötterna

Mais Black är mycket sköna för fötterna. Har i flera år haft problem med vänster fot ffa smärta i främre delen men dessa sandaler underlättar gåendet. Sandalernas innersula är varsam mot fotens undersida vilket är så skönt när man går

Skönaste tofflorna jag någonsin använt

Skönaste tofflorna jag någonsin använt. Korksulan är otroligt mjuk och känns som att gå på moln. Lädret är mjukt och skönt och har aldrig skavt, inte ens i början. De töjer sig lite med användning men det går lätt att justera spännet då för att få perfekt passform. Har ett par som inneskor men köpte precis ett par extra för utomhus. Dessa andas premium och kvalitet!

Beautifully flexible and comfortable

Beautifully flexible and comfortable. No rubbing, leather is soft and gives a little, which is nice. Took a bit of messing around with the buckles to get the right fit, but once I had they felt great.

Like putting your feet in butter

Like putting your feet in butter, no painful breaking in period, perfect fit straight away, comfortable and secure to walk in, and look great too.

nästan perfekta!

Sköna, men jag har otroligt platta fötter, vilket gör att sulans storlek är perfekt men spännena har för få hål.
Den tajtaste sitter alltså för löst trots att sulans storlek är perfekt
Går att använda ändå men inte helt optimalt, så jag kommer göra egna hål.

feet hurt like crazy and gave me blisters all over my feet

feet hurt like crazy and gave me blisters all over my feet. i've been using other barefoot shoes for 6 years, should not have that reaction

Hi Sab,

That definitely shouldn't be the experience — please reach out to support@wydefootwear.com so we can take a closer look and help you sort it. Thanks for letting us know.

Only giving two stars for look

Only giving two stars for look. Nicely made with leather and good buckles. However, they are incredibly wide and I felt like I was clomping with each step. Tightening as much as possible.

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for the honest feedback. Maia is built around a wide toe box by design, but we hear you that the overall width can feel like a lot. We're noting this as we keep iterating on the fit.

Not what I expected unfortunately

I was excited to try a softer alternative to Birkenstocks, but the lack of half-sizes doesn't provide me a optimal fit where EU 44 was too small and EU 45 a bit too big. Decided for the larger size. I tried to punch an extra hole but they are just too wide in the mid part and back to the heel. Fighting to stay put in the sandals as they are also heavy. Causing me ankle and leg discomfort. The black leather leaves stains on my feet. I think there should be half-sizes and also offer two width options. Same toe area width in both but one option where the mid and heel areas are more narrow. Make them light-weight and offer an option for a heel strap to make them more secure.

Hi Erik,

Thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback — this is exactly the kind of input that helps us improve. Half-sizes and width options are things we're noting for the future, and we have your notes on weight and heel security. For a more secure fit, our upcoming new Maia model with a heel strap might be worth a look. Reach out to support@wydefootwear.com about the leather staining so we can take a closer look.

Man kan bli riktigt arg vid tanken på att skor så sällan har samma form som fötter.

Jag har totalt köpt 2 par maia och 3 par arcus i olika färger. Detta har fört med sig att jag nu skänker bort mina sk vanliga skor. Fötterna trivs inte längre att klämmas in i dem. Man kan bli riktigt arg vid tanken på att skor så sällan har samma form som fötter. Älskar att ni tänker och jobbar annorlunda. Tack för det! Nu väntar jag bara på en vintermodell.

I love these sandals so much

I love these sandals so much. They are exactly what I was looking for.
The bottom of them has just the right amount of cush when I was on vacation I cut the bottom of my foot and they were absolutely perfect. Once I got hobbling around again,
I have wide feet with a high arch, and I love that they do not restrict my feet at all, and maintain a soft solid feel. Please makePlease make them in every color I would get more.

FAQ

Answers to most common questions about products, orders, and shipments.
How do I find the right size? Plus

For most customers, our digital sizing tool works great. Just click Size Guide above choosing your size and follow the instructions.

If you would like to measure manually, please follow our manual size guide here. If you're between sizes, size up.

If you use any of our sneakers, we recommend sizing down one size if purchasing the Maia.

Do you offer half sizes? Plus

Our shoes are available in full EU sizes. If you normally wear a half size, we recommend sizing up. The wide toe box accommodates slight size differences better than conventional shoes.

I have wide feet — do I need to size up for width? Plus

No. All Wyde shoes are designed with a wide, foot-shaped toe box as standard. You do not need to size up for width. Choose your size based on foot length only.

Are these barefoot shoes? Plus

Wyde shoes share the core principles of barefoot footwear — wide toe box, zero drop, no toe spring, and flexible sole — but with more cushioning than ultra-minimalist barefoot shoes. Think of them as the bridge between conventional shoes and pure barefoot: all the natural foot function, with comfort for everyday wear on concrete and pavement.

What does "zero drop" mean? Plus

Zero drop means the heel and toe are at the same height — like standing barefoot. There's no elevated heel pushing your weight forward. This promotes natural posture and movement. If you're used to flat shoes like Converse or Vans, zero drop will feel familiar.

Do your shoes have arch support? Plus

Wyde shoes don't have traditional built-in arch support. They're designed with a zero-drop, flat sole that lets your foot muscles work naturally. If you need arch support, the insoles are removable so you can use your own orthotics.

Are Wyde shoes good for hallux valgus (bunions)? Plus

Our wide, foot-shaped toe box gives your big toe room to sit in its natural position rather than being compressed. Many customers with hallux valgus choose Wyde specifically for this reason.

What is your return policy? Plus

You have 30 days from delivery to initiate a return. Items must be in unused condition — indoor try-on is fine, but visible outdoor wear means we can't accept the return. Exchanges are free for eligible regions (European Union & United States). For refund returns, we deduct a small at-cost return fee from your refund.
