What Makes Wyde
Unique?
01
Wide Toe Box for ultimate support
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.
02
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.
03
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.

FAQ
Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions.
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.
The visible thickness of the sole is primarily a design component, even though it is undeniably more cushioned than classical barefoot shoes. We didn't want our customers to have to compromise between functionality and style, and that's why we introduced the Arcus. Engineered with precision, this shoe is designed to flex seamlessly at the toe joints, facilitating the windlass mechanism and ensuring proper gait mechanics. Ideal for navigating modern society with its asphalt, concrete, and hard symmetrical surfaces. The sole is zero-drop and offers full bendability at the toe joints, providing a distinctive blend of function and style. The Arcus is truly a functional footwear solution.
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.
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.
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.
We trust that you will appreciate the Arcus as much as we do, and we encourage you to proudly wear it during various social gatherings. Feel confident in knowing that you don't have to sacrifice foot functionality for the sake of fashion. The Arcus is designed to be an everyday shoe, suitable for the office, city strolls, evening outings, and parties. It serves as the ideal sneaker, ensuring your feet are well cared for in any circumstance.
