Womens Wide Width Dress Shoes

This post on womens wide width dress shoes includes two categories of dressy shoes.

First, there are traditional heels and formal shoes.

Second, I’ve included boots and booties.

Why? Because I know that I like wearing boots and booties with tights and dresses when I need to dress up.

In fact, one could say that in today’s fashion, boots and booties have become their own category of dress shoes.

Now finding dress shoes, including heels, in wide width is a challenge for women like me with wide or extra wide feet.

That’s why I’ve done the hard work of investigating brands and stores where you can find those formal shoes, heels or boots you desire.

Tights for wide feet and wide calves and even baby bumps

I’ve written many blog posts on my favorite subscription boxes. In one of my boxes from online stylist MM LaFleur, I received a pair of Commando semi opaque tights.

I’ve since determined that these are the best tights ever. Yes, they’re pricey but they have lasted through dozens of wearings and washings. Best of all, they don’t leave me feeling like a sausage!

You don’t have to order an MM LaFleur box to get these Commando tights. I’ve bought them from Bare Necessities. You can also buy them on Amazon.

In fact, when I looked on Amazon, I saw a maternity version of the Commando tights, too. Pair them with black booties to be totally on trend!

Therefore, I broke the information out into separate articles. There’s this one, specifically about women’s dress shoes in wide widths.
