 Everybody needs a do-it-all trainer. Xero’s casual Kelso sneaker is designed specifically with a toe box that lets your toes spread and rest in their natural shape. Not every foot requires a wider toe box. Someone who has any kind of deformity in the forefoot (the widest part of the foot) would need a shoe with a wide toe box to avoid pain and crowding in the toes,” Dr. Lobkova says. This could include bunions, arthritis in the big toe joint, hammertoes, or neuroma. Those who feel tight in standard-width shoes,” she counters, should opt for a wide-width shoe.” Of course, the best way to determine the right fit is to try the shoe on. Otherwise, it can be difficult to assess the qualities you need from a specific brand or style.

Note that wide-fit shoes are more of a solution than a precautionary measure. Tight fitting shoes do not actually cause foot and toe deformities, such as bunions, however they contribute to the worsening of them,” Dr. Lobkova warns. Specifically, shoes with a narrow toe box press against the joint and irritate the capsule overlying the bones….they also exaggerate or worsen toe deformities by increasing abnormal pressure onto the foot bones.” Unfortunately, a lot of shoes with wide toe boxes might not be labeled plainly as such. So Dr. Lobkova laid out some basic guidelines when trying to assess if a toe box is wide enough. Pinch the shoe at the tip from the top,” she instructs. Is there room above the toes? You should be able to punch into the shoe a bit—or create a delve—above the toes.” When trying on shoes, it’s important to find comfort. Try to see if you can flex your toes inside the shoe (as if you were picking up a pen with your toes). All ten toes should be able to flex without resistance or pressure from the shoe upper,” she advises.
