What Makes Wyde Unique?

Wide Toe Box Flexible Where It Matters Zero Drop Design

01

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.

02

Flexible where it matters Your foot does not roll up like a ball and neither should your shoe to achieve optimal function. However, it is extremely important that your toes can bend freely during gait. The Arcus has a special design on the inside structure which allows for bending at the toes to accommodate optimal foot function. The heel is more stable yet still allows for the few degrees of tilting of the heel bone.

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.

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.

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

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

Deformity Prevention In our study, 'The Shoe Effect,' we have scientifically proven that modern footwear contributes to foot deformities.

Foot Strength Another study demonstrates that wearing functional footwear led to a 57.4% improvement in foot strength within six months, solely through the simple act of changing shoes.

"Life Changing Shoes"

I can't begin to thank this company for making the perfect shoe for me. I just started wearing them and my god the toe space is amazing. I'm 6,2 with huge wide feet and I can use these shoes with toes spacers comfortably while at work..

Anthony M.

"Excellent"

I was unsure how these shoes would feel but I was blown away. Extremely comfortable and so far, durable. The only negative is that after wearing these any other shoes feel constricting and narrow. Other than that they are brilliant. Loving them so far.

T.A

"The best brand I tried (of many)"

I was a little sceptical of the slightly thicker sole (having tried so many barefoot shoes over the years) but I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and feel of the shoe. It is finally a toebox that is wide enough for real feet (I thought my other barefoot shoes had wide toeboxes, but now I feel the difference...

Peter S.

“BEST Wide Toe Box Shoe I’ve Ever Worn!”

Not only was I shocked at how clean and beautiful the design of these shoes are upon opening, but the feeling wearing them, moving in them and training in them has surpassed all expectations. The toe box is wider than any minimalist shoe I’ve ever tried..

Colin S.

“So Comfy”

Easy to put on and take off. Hardly notice they are there. Fit both thin socks and knitted ones. Perfect for indoor exercise. No more cold feet. Best of all, no toe ache..

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.

My best shoes!

I’ve been waiting on these shoes for a quite a while now and they meet all my expectations. Hallux was a nice shoe but too thin sole for me (and not the best look). These are thicker (or they provide at least more protection) and the design is nice, been wearing them everyday now for a month and they look like new. Great job Wyde, look forward to your next shoe! 🙏🏻

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for Arcus White! We are thrilled to hear that these shoes have exceeded your expectations and have become your go-to pair. We're so glad that they still look like new after a month of wear! Thank you for choosing Wyde, and we can't wait for you to try our coming models. Have a great day! /Rasmus

Magnificent Shoe

I am 72 years old and I have been active in sports, running, walking, and weightlifting. Yes, I wore athletic shoes and now I have problems with my feet. This shoe is the one for which I have been waiting decades to help correct my problems. I quickly bought a pair of Arcus white and black. I waited some time to get them shipped to the U.S. but the wait was worth it. They fit almost perfectly and I was happy. I wore them immediately everywhere. They are comfortable, roomy, and stable. I was so pleased that I bought 2 more pairs of the shoes—gray and another black. After several weeks of wear now, I am still very happy with the shoes. One minor issue seems to be that the tongue of the shoes seems to slide down toward the toe box on the big toe side. It may just be my feet but maybe there is a way to tie the shoes to prevent the tongue from moving down. I am not faulting anyone. It is a magnificent shoe!

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Arcus White. Experiences like yours drive are the reason for starting Wyde Footwear and trying to create future models for all parts of life, so thank you for sharing your experience with us! We also appreciate your feedback about the tongue sliding down and we will definitely look into ways to improve this in the future. Thank you for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy your Arcus shoes. Have a wonderful day! /Rasmus

SNYGG! BEKVÄM! FANTASTISK! SKÖN!

Äntligen en sko skapad för friska fötter, som även är riktigt snygg!
Jag är imponerad över hur mjuk och skön skorna är, och mina fötter mår riktigt bra av att gå i dem.
Självklart 100% bra sko och givet 5 stjärnor av 5 möjliga!
Längtar redan efter nästa nya design och funktion

Underbart att höra! Mer kommer! /Melker

I love my new shoes!

Not only are they comfortable but also cute. Yesterday when walking in Stockholms hipster neighbourhood I was stopped twice by people asking me about my shoes. I hope they will find themselves a perfect pair as I did. Life is easier with painless feet!

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. We're so happy to hear that you love them and have received compliments on them. We hope they continue to provide you with comfort and style. Have a great day! /Rasmus

So comfy and nice minimalist sneakers

I'm really pleased with ny new pair of Wyde Arcus white. Have long saught for sneakers with a wide toe box and finally I have found them! Won't be my last pair, though I hope that they will last long🙏

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Arcus White sneakers. We're thrilled to hear that you find them comfy and love their minimalist design. It's great to know that you finally found a pair with a wide toe box – we're happy to have been able to provide that for you. We hope they last you a long time and we can't wait to have you back for your next pair. Take care! /Rasmus

Great shoes

I can strongly recommend these shoes, they feel good and look more like "normal" shoes than other types does. Y

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our shoes. We're glad to hear that you are enjoying them and that they have a more 'normal' look compared to other types, that is one of our goals!. Thank you for recommending them. We appreciate your support! /Rasmus

Best shoes for my super wide feet ever! The socks are amazing, too!

I ve been super desperate to find shoes that would fit my very wide feet. At age 27 I ve already had severe deformation and surgeries on both feet due to unfit footwear. These shoes are truly life changing! One issue I have always had with minimal shoes is that they always look "different" and can't be casually worn in the office because I would always stand out. The Arcus look stylish and I feel very comfortable.
One game changer are the Foot Shaped Socks. So comfortable and cushioning. It would be great if they would also come in black. I ll definitely order again.

Jeanine, thank you so much for taking the time to leave areview for our product, Arcus Black. We are thrilled to hear that our shoes have been able to provide comfort and support for your wide feet. We understand the struggle of finding shoes that fit, and we are happy to know that we could make a difference for you. We are also glad that you are enjoying our Foot Shaped Socks. We will definitely take note of your suggestion for black socks in the future. Lots more coming from us going forward. /Melker

The most comfortable shoes

I've tried a few different brands of barefoot shoes but WYDE footwear is by far the most comfortable I've tried. Great design and colour, and they are so comfortable. Provides a really good feeling with the ground even with a thicker sole. Love the width. Looking forward to seeing how my feet will improve over time using both Arcus and Hallux!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review for the Arcus Peach! We are thrilled to hear that you find them to be the most comfortable functional shoes you have tried. Thank you for choosing Wyde and we appreciate your support! /Melker

Comfy!

These shoes are very comfortable and are helping me regain some mobility after a recent surgery. The chunky style is honestly a big change for me. But I take it as a challenge to see how I can style myself differently now. I appreciate that the shoes follow my natural foot shape (narrow heel, extra wide toes) and have some heft and cushion to the soles. And the all black version is a good addition to my work wardrobe which allows me to wear smart sneakers.

Hi Mimi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for the Arcus Black. We're thrilled to hear that they are providing comfort and aiding in your recovery after surgery. We understand that the chunky style may be different for you, but we're glad you're embracing it and finding ways to style yourself in new ways. Thank you for choosing Wyde! /Melker

Mycket bekväma

Väldigt kul att höra, det är det som är tanken! /Melker

Arcus

Very comfortable and, in my opinion, very good looking shoe.

We're so glad to hear that you find them comfortable and good looking. It's always great to know that our customers are happy with their purchases. Thank you! /Melker

Footloose

Good looking and comfortable. The large area for the toes doesn’t look that big from the outside at all. Two “buts” though, I am a size 37,5 and 38 was recommended using the measurement chart. I find that size too big, but maybe 37 would be too small? The shoe “gnawed” on my ankles at first, now I mostly don’t think about it. A sole to adjust the depth would be good (with the right toe friendly shape).

We are happy that you like our design! Sometimes wide toeboxes with high volume feel different initially, to later feel like a great match for a functional foot.

But we are looking into providing different footbeds depending on what volume feet our customers have. It is also possible to remove the footbed if someone needs more volume. Contact our support if you want us to send an extra footbed to have in your shoe for extra comfort/less volume! /Rasmus

Fotälskare

Både bra för fötterna OCH snygga, en kombination som jag haft svårigheter att hitta tidigare!

Stort tack för att du tog dig tiden att dela din upplevelse, exakt det du beskriver är det vi försökt skapa med Arcus. Att inte behöva tumma på design, men ändå vara bra för fötterna! Så det värmer våra hjärtan att du delar den upplevelsen, stort tack! /Rasmus

Learning to walk

The design is nice, the color is soothing for the eye and exactly as shown on the pictures. The shoes are comfortable and very wide, maybe too wide for my foot, despite the hallux, and that is why I have the feeling, that I am still learning to walk with them.

Thank you for your review of our Arcus Peach shoes. We're glad to hear that you like the design and color, and that they are comfortable for you. In the beginning they can feel very wide, but most often your foot will widen and become stronger, and the shoe will feel like the perfect fit for you! Thank you for choosing our product and we hope you continue to enjoy them /Rasmus

Underbara skor

Jag är jättenöjd. Aldrig känt mig så bekväm. Tack ska ni ha! 🤗

Underbart att höra Diana! /Melker

Riktigt bra

Den här varianten fungerar toppen. Så bra att det gick att beställa i small som passar oss med smala fötter. Har testat många olika varianter, men dessa tåseparerare är de bästa. Heja er!

Vad kul, Lina! Tack för din recension /Melker

En sko som faktiskt är fotformad!

Har alltid haft svårt med skor på grund av breda fötter vilket ledde mig till barfotaskor. Nackdelen med de barfotaskor jag skaffade var att de inte var riktigt fotformade och inte hade tillräcklig ”dämpning” för att vara sköna att gå på asfalt med.

Hallux är faktiskt fotformade - till skillnad från ALLA andra skor jag kollat på/användt.
Meshtyget med dess (kanske något för stora) hål gör skon väldigt skön för inomhusbruk (och varmare väderlek) men något opassande i snöväder. Ser fram emot kommande versioner (en vintersko skulle vara fantastiskt)!

Vi hade samma upplevelse som du, och därför föddes Wyde! Håll utkik framåt för spännande nyheter! /Melker

Supersköna

The Most Happy Feet

Have you once tried Wyde Footwear, you feel your other shoes are not comfortable.

You are not the only one with this experience, and we are happy you share your thoughts! When the foot adapts to the wide toebox, other shoes might feel too narrow /Rasmus

Love my new shoes

I have hallux valgus. I am on my journey for better feet: using toe separators and my Wyde shoes with daily exercises. Love the wide toe box and the barefoot experience. Finally, I have comfortable shoes. Moreover, it feels like it's made of good quality materials. <3

Thank you so much for taking your time to write us a review and tell us about your story! We are so happy to hear that you are taking care of your feet and giving them the love they deserve, well done & we hope you inspire more people to be as courageous as you are! /Rasmus

Good looking and comfortable

Riktigt sköna och snygga skor.

Thank you so much for your review!
Väldigt roligt att du uppskattar Hallux /Rasmus

Wide shoes

I finally found shoes that fit my wide foot. I took out the insole because I don't care for the thin padding. Like the snug fit around the ankle. Good ground feel. Hope more colors will be coming in the future. Good shoe.

We are happy to hear you liked the width of our shoes, since this is a primary goal for us, more colors are coming 2024! /Rasmus

Toe separator

Intressant produkt.
Har funderat ett längre tag på att hjälpa ut min ena stortå en aning.
Har haft ont i stortåleden en lång tid.
Köpte
Tycker att jag får hjälp av dessa. Har mindre ont nu. Använder dom mest på natten. Bara ibland på dagtid.

Toppen att höra! Försök även att använda de när du går omkring hemma då kroppen lär sig bäst under belastning, men att sova i de går också jättebra om man är komfortabel i det. /Melker

Tåspridare

Intressant med nya tåspridare.
Har haft ont i en stortåled under lång tid. Tänkte testa nya tåspridare från er.
Har på mig dom mestadels på natten. Tycker mig känna av en positiv effekt av dom.

Skor och tåspridare

Jag är nöjd med skorna och tåspridare! Dem är så sköna! Använder dagligen både tåspridarna och skorna på träning och jobbet. Jag känner att mina fötter har blivit starkare. Får mindre ont i fötterna och ryggen. Tack för dem fantastiska skorna och tåspridare!

Kul att höra om din upplevelse Isabella! Starkare fötter resulterar i en starkare och friskare kropp överlag, så det är logiskt! /Melker
