While almost everyone knows their shoe size by heart, very few know how wide their feet are. When looking for the right hiking shoe, it's not just about the length, but also the width of your foot. We use four categories for our hiking shoes: narrow, regular (or medium), wide and extra wide.
The number of men with wide feet is increasing due to changing footwear. Fortunately, so is the range of wide walking shoes. Wide feet should have enough room in a walking shoe. Walking shoes that are not wide enough can cause problems such as calluses or bone growth. A squeezing shoe can cause a hot and burning sensation due to a lot of friction.
