Out of all my fashion struggles, I think shoes are by far the most challenging for me. I have REALLY wide feet and sometimes deal with swelling. I spend a lot of my time wearing stretchy flats and rarely wear sneakers unless I’m exercising.
I’ve never really found sneakers to be overly comfortable and they’re almost always too tight for me.
Nike sneakers are by far my favorite aesthetically, but they always have been way too narrow for me in my adult years.
Recently, after getting tired of hearing me whine about how much I hated my sneakers my husband, Kevin, decided to take me shoe shopping. I browsed every rack in the store and was feeling a bit defeated… until we were on our way out and I spotted them.
There was ONE small shelf of Nike sneakers with a sticker that said “extra wide”!
DREAMS. DO. COME. TRUE!
I excitedly tried the shoes AND THEY FIT! Perfectly!
I bought these beautiful Tanjun Wide Width (2E) Sneakers in Wolf Grey/White and have worn them non-stop ever since.
These are comfy enough for long walks and attractive enough for my favorite athleisure looks or for running errands.
If you’re on the hunt for extra wide width sneakers, I HIGHLY recommend you check these out!
If grey isn’t your thing, you can check them out here in white, black, and even pink and black!
Or if you don’t have wide feet, you can check out the regular width here!
Let me know below… do you have wide feet? What are your favorite sneakers? Maybe I’ll do a roundup of our faves soon!

Miranda, you couldn’t have posted this at a better time! I have always struggled to find a good pair of wide width shoes. I am in the market for a new pair of shoes since my surgery. I will be sure to check these out! Thanks!
So happy the timing worked out! I love these so much! I bet you’ll like them too!
I love Nike sneakers and bought a similar pair last year. However, the tounge of the shoe was attached on both sides so it was super tight on the top. I will need to investigate these further. I am in need of a good sneaker.
The tongue can be a challenge for me too! These are not attached on the sides! Super helpful!
I have had good luck with Sketcher D’Lites in wide. Both the slip on and tie versions. Sketchers also has a nice line in Wide for slip on, flat or slight heel shoes that can be dressy or casual for work. I am not affiliated with them. Just found what works for me. I’m 8.5W and it’s hard to find nice, comfy shoes.
I do wear Skechers slip ons as well! The flats! They’re very comfy too but I was missing “real” sneakers. I haven’t checked out the D’Lites!
I have extra wide feet, too. Will be looking into these!
Awesome! I bet you’ll love them!
There is nothing better than comfy shoes!
Totally agree!
It’s so great when you find a pair of shoes that you love and that fits perfectly!
Yes! The best feeling!
Once you find the perfect fitting pair of shoes, your life is changed forever!
So true!
I have the style in regular sizes but had to size up. I didn’t realize they come in wide too.
I didn’t know for a long time! Was so excited to discover them!
I’ve been waiting and waiting for my size and color to come back in stock and finally it was! Thank you again for posting about these! They’ve been a favorite but I’ve had to size up. I can’t wait to get them!!
I’m so happy you were able to get them!!! They’re so good!
I love New Balance with the rollbar in them. I have a white pair and a grey/ peach pair. They make the sublination ( rolling out of the heel) stable. I see a lot of plus size shoes that creal over outwardly this tennis shoe helps with that. If you have those problems that is the shoe for you. I’ll try that Nike also it look great.
Thank you for the tip!!
I love Brooks walking shoes!!!
My mom has been saying she loves them too! I need to check them out.
I have been wearing new balance extra wide shoes for over 10 years. They’ve been great. Their Aravon line of casual shoes has moved to rockport.com and they’re all I wear to the office.
Thank you!! Good to know!
Thank you for sharing.Will check theses out.
You’ll have to let me know what you think when you try them!
Do you think these are supportive enough for workouts?
I personally wear them for exercising but I don’t do anything super high impact. They work great for me, but I know everyone’s different with their shoe/support needs. They’re definitely great for walking which is my primary use.
