An easy way to determine your foot width is by identifying your foot shape. Below is a narrow foot shape, followed by a wide foot shape.
At least daily, I’m asked how to tell the difference. Here’s a simple way I have created to visually differentiate the two. A narrow foot is shaped like a rectangle, where a wide foot is shaped like an inverted triangle.
Width alone is not enough to achieve the best fit (for that you’ve got to take into account depth), but at least it gives you a place to start. With very little effort, you’ll be able to match your foot width to your shoe outsole in no time.

Thank you soo much! I never knew how to tell the difference! I now know that my foot is wide.
