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 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.
Womens Wide Width Dress Shoes: Heels
If you’re looking for the best women’s dress shoes for wide feet, I’ve found luck with Rockport and Rockport Cobb Hill. Many have super cute wide width heels, too.
I got a pair of gold Total Motion Salima Ankle Strap Pump in a recent Trunk Club shipment. They are from Rockport. So that goes to show you that when you sign up for Trunk Club, you can request womens wide dress shoes among other kinds of shoes–and other clothing.
Shoes for special occasions
Did you know that David’s Bridal carries shoes for special occasions in wide widths? Their wide shoes go up to size 12W. There are wide shoes for special occasions at David’s Bridal for the bride, her attendants and even the flower girls.
Best wide width boots and booties
I’ve been able to buy womens wide width boots in regular wide from Cobb Hill. These wide width boots were riding boots as well as work or combat boots.
Some of the womens wide width boots come with extended calves. That’s good to know if you have plus-size calves along with extra wide feet. Some of these really are the best boots for womens wide feet.
Best wide width dress booties for women
In addition, I’ve been able to buy womens wide width boots in extra wide from other brands. In fact, I’ve really fallen in love with the tights and booties look.
As mentioned above, I’ve also found brands that don’t come extra wide but fit my extra wide foot. This is true with booties, too.
I love my Born black suede booties that I wear with tights and dresses, shown below. I also own wide width booties from Rockport Cobb Hill that fit my double wide feet.
Best Wide Width Shoes for Women: Booties
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!
Extra Wide Width Womens Boots and Booties
When it comes to extra wide width womens boots, you'll often find that with taller, riding boots, you also have the option of getting an extra wide calf in your boot. As someone with a double wide foot but not a double wide calf, this is often a challenge for me. Maybe you're different.
Either way, in this list of extra wide width womens boots, I've included brands with and without extra wide calves. I've also included extra wide width booties that I may not have shared earlier.

Final thoughts on the womens wide width dress shoes
Originally, I’d written about wide width dress shoes for women in this larger post on women’s wide width shoes overall. It started as a soup-to-nuts article about wide shoes, but then it grew out of control.
Therefore, I broke the information out into separate articles. There’s this one, specifically about women’s dress shoes in wide widths. And then there’s another a post about wide width casual shoes for women. Finally, I have one whole article devoted to wide width athletic shoes for women.
If you feel I’ve missed anything in the dress shoe realm–heels, boots or booties–please post a comment and let me know.
