Functional footwear
Wide Toe Box for optimal function
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.
Flexible where it matters
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.
Zero Drop & No Toe Spring
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.
why get functional footwear?
What is functional footwear?
Functional footwear are crafted to mimic the contours of your feet, providing a fit that supports natural movement. Say goodbye to pinching, squeezing, and discomfort – it's time to step into a world of ultimate comfort. We often hear that customers wearing a pair our shoes, after just 30-60 days, they already find their old conventional shoes uncomfortable.
What makes Wyde Footwear different from other shoes?
We craft functional footwear that respects human anatomy and foot function while meeting the demands of modern life. Each of our shoes features a wide, foot-shaped toe box for optimal big-toe alignment, zero drop, and zero toe spring. We also design our shoes to allow unrestricted toe bending, ensuring natural movement.
These design principles are at the heart of our commitment to foot health, and we never compromise on them.
What does 'zero drop' mean in functional footwear?
Zero drop refers to a sole that maintains an even height from the heel to the forefoot, resulting in no height difference between the two areas. This design promotes a more natural alignment of the foot and encourages a flat landing, reducing stress on joints and supporting a more balanced and natural gait.
Are functional shoes good for everyone?
Yes indeed, we do however recommend a gradual increase in time spent in our shoes if you are dealing with foot pain/functional problems etc. And if your troubles are severe, please consult a medical professional or reach out to our physio team to help you transition from a conventional shoe to a Wyde shoe. If done correctly it will be great for your feet and your whole body.
Can i wear socks with functional shoes?
You’ll get more of the benefits of a Wyde shoe if you also wear foot shaped socks, which you can see above. We are very proud of our socks. Although, a conventional sock inside of a Wyde shoe is superior for your feet compared to any conventional shoe.
Why should I trust Wyde for my foot health needs?
We are backed by a team of world-renowned foot health experts and physiotherapists who have educated thousands on optimal foot function, alignment, and mechanics. In addition to our in-house expertise, we partner with respected organizations like My Foot Function, ensuring each design reflects cutting-edge research and best practices.
We don’t just make shoes; we’re re-thinking footwear to support your body’s natural movement and well-being.
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.
Tolle Schuhe die perfekt passen!
Ich habe über ein Jahr nach Schuhen gesucht, die zu meiner Fußform passen - alle anderen "weiten" Schuhe quetschen meine Zehen zusammen und verursachen Schmerzen im großen Zeh beim Laufen.
Und nun endlich: Ich habe DEN Schuh für mich gefunden!
Gerade ist er mit der Post angekommen. - Sofort anprobiert und: Er passt PERFEKT! Ich bin wirklich sehr froh, endlich passende - und schöne (!) - Schuhe gefunden zu haben.
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
