Soma Sandstone

You can tell these shoes have amazing quality materials used and the design of the barefoot style with durable soles and a chic appearance. However, the mixed material upper has a fatal design flaw in that a portion of the leather striping caves inwards into the wide toe box, rendering the flared design pretty useless. This really needs a design update and reimagining because it defeats the purpose of the barefoot design if the wide toe box is being obstructed. You can see the crease lines in my photos that show you where the indent is happening but the shoe would otherwise have been perfect and very comfortable. So close and so disappointing!

Good shit 🤩

Breda och skön dämpning. Bredare även över själva foten och inte enbart tårna som för vissa andra märken. Enda negativa är att jag fått lite skoskav nu i början vid hälen där hälskaftet tar slut. Men det ger nog med sig snart.

Due to a problem on my back, I had a foot surgery some months ago and I was advised never to wear my old shoes again. So I threw them all away and I started to try different brands of barefoot shoes, but they were still too narrow and the idea of feeling the ground doesn’t suit me at all. With Wyde shoes I feel like I walk on a cloud, it is another level of comfort and quality!

Mycket nöjd med mitt val! Redan när jag provade dem visste jag direkt att de var keepers. Dagen efter hade jag dem på mig hela dagen utan något skav eller att fötterna blev trötta.
Dessutom är de väldigt snygga. Jag förväntade mig att de skulle se klumpiga ut eftersom de är så pass breda, men det gör de verkligen inte alls.

amazing shoes, wanted exactly this - wide toes + some of the sole for the city life, will be buying each color in the future!

Second Soma, same awesome experience.
Purchased it for a gift, ended up keeping it for myself haha.
Already got a black Soma for work and since i couldn´t get it off my feet once i tried it, i purchased a second par as a gift but kept it to wear on casual occasions so the black would last longer.
As with black Soma, i feel this model is probably the shoe model that ticks most boxes that i have ever seen.
- Real real wide body, not only toebox
- High inside for high volume feet (high mid-foot)
- High toebox (not only wide)
- Zero drop
- minimal cushioning if you have feet pains and find barefoot ones too thin
- Grounded
- Overall Quality way above other barefoot shoes
- Well ventilated
Now we just need a sober looking edition for work, a goretex waterproof vibram outsole trail version and a insulated one... i will be waiting, eagerly waiting while changing my shoe rack for wyde models... hope Wyde have the success it deserves ^^
Cheers

Honestly I am just so thankful for Wyde! Finally a brand that produces shoes that fit my extra wide buniony feet! They bring all the benefits of barefoot shoes like no arch support, zero drop, a wide toe box, without actually being barefoot. The Soma have a thicker sole which was exactly what I was looking for. Since I suffer from a leg lenght discrepancy, I have to adjust all my shoes. They have a really wide toe box, much volume for the foot (almost too much for my feet), are cushioned for long walks and on top of all that they look very stylish! Thank you, Wyde! (See how they compare to other shoes, in the picture from left to right: Wyde Soma, Altra Lone Peak 9+, Asics Gel Venture 6. Looking back now, I can't believe I squeezed my feet in such narrow and pointy shoes like Asics for years..!)

Die besten, breitesten Schuhe. Ich war auf der Suche nach besonders breiten Schuhen und bin hier fündig geworden...Mein Schneiderballen tat eines Tages unvorhergesehen weh und seitdem war ich auf der Suche nach passenden Schuhen und bin schließlich hier fündig geworden. Mein Schneiderballen tut seitdem nicht mehrweg. Perfekt.

I’ve always had very wide feet, a high arch, and a high instep, which has made finding comfortable shoes difficult my entire life. In my late 40s, I also developed hallux valgus along with back, knee, and hip pain. Since I walk a lot at work at the hospital, it became a serious problem.
I bought SOMA because of their foot-shaped design and shock-absorbing sole, and they’ve honestly been life-changing for me. I can move much more freely now without the pain afterwards, both at work and in my free time. I’ve even been able to return to group fitness classes again.
I now own three pairs of SOMA shoes, as well as other models from Wyde, because they’ve made such a positive difference for my body and quality of life!

Wyde Soma och Nova är de enda skorna som i nuläget minskar smärtan i hallux valgus och minskar/tar bort nervsmärtan som jag har mellan tå tre och fyra sedan ett år tillbaka. Rekommenderas varmt!

Only shoe that has ever fit my wide feet. Looks stylish. Super flexible and has enough stack height to walk all day. Bought another pair straight away.

I have developed Achilles tendon irritation after walking in these shoes.

I have purchased several brands claiming to have wide toe boxes. Wyde is the first pair that is actually wide enough. They don't scrunch my toes. Hallelujah!

My normal size was too short but the width was perfect. I had to go up one size and the width became enormous. My feet are bathing in them.

Widest shoe I have found on the market in size 36! Love it!

Fantastiskt sköna.

De har räddat min dotters fötter. Inflammation i MTP1 och start av Hallux Valgus. Tänk vad det gör när tårna får plats:)

Jätte sköna skor

Perfect for my wide toe splay. These stack height and cushion is great for long days walking around NYC pavement while still providing enough feedback.

Well made shoe/sneaker. Very stiff out of the box and will take some time to break them in.

Passade inte min smala fot.

Väldigt sköna, jag upplever att jag får en annan hållning när jag går med dessa. Mitt problematiska knä kändes också bättre redan efter första promenaden!

Bra sko med platts för tårna men ändå lite dämpning för hälen.
