Best Women's Everyday Flip Flops for Wide Feet with Arch Support

If you have wide feet, you already know finding the perfect fit in a sandal can be challenging. Many shoe styles aren’t available in wide widths, and stores often don’t carry wide-width shoes at all. Between 63 and 72 percent of the population don’t wear shoes that fit properly, and this can cause problems for wearers with wide feet.

Finding the right pair of flip flops for wide feet can make all the difference in your daily comfort and confidence, especially as the seasons change and you’re reaching for easy, breathable footwear. For women with wider feet, the search goes beyond just style—it’s about discovering flip flops that offer a relaxed fit, all-day support, and materials that move with you.

Natural rubber designs, like those found in many PCSsole wide fit options, are especially popular because they flex gently with every step, reducing the risk of pinching or rubbing that can come with narrower styles. Wide straps are another essential feature, providing both security and a flattering look across the foot, while contoured footbeds and non-slip soles help keep you steady whether you’re strolling along city sidewalks, enjoying a weekend at the beach, or simply relaxing in your garden.

If you have wide feet, chances are you also have a hard time finding sandals that are both comfortable and stylish. Fortunately, that’s not the case with PCSsole.

We understand that feet come in all shapes and sizes, and we want to accommodate them all. We design some of our sandals styles with a wider footbed so that you don’t have to stress. But before we get into which sandals you should pick for wide feet, let’s lay the groundwork.

That’s easy. If you feel cased-in or constricted by most sandals, you likely have wide feet. To measure your foot and find out for sure, follow these steps:

• Get a ruler, a marker, and a piece of paper.
• Place the paper flat on the ground and stand on it (make sure your foot is flat).
• Outline of your foot using the marker.
• Measure the distance between the widest part of your foot.

After you measure, check the “shoe width measurement chart” and compare.

Whether or not you need wide-width shoes depends on your shoe size. For example, if you have smaller feet, such as a size 6, a foot of 3.44 inches or more across is considered wide by many brands. If your feet are closer to a size 9, 3.80 inches or more across is considered a wide width. This answer may also vary from brand to brand, so we suggest checking the brand’s size chart before making a purchase.

Features to look for when shopping for flip-flops

If you don't own the right pair of flip-flops, your feet can have potential issues such as plantar fasciitis and overpronation. We suggest following these tips when shopping for flip-flops.

• Arch support: "Choose flip-flops with good arch support to help maintain the natural alignment of your feet and reduce strain on your arches."
• Cushioning: "Look for flip-flops with adequate cushioning to absorb shock and reduce pressure on the feet."
• Footbed design: "A contoured footbed that mimics the natural shape of your foot can provide better support and comfort.
• Straps: "Opt for flip-flops with sturdy, comfortable straps that do not cause irritation or blisters. Straps that secure around the back of the heel can provide added stability."

Having wide feet creates more need for support throughout the gait cycle. In the instance of wide feet, it is often assumed that the foot is flattened or flattening. Correction or support of this architecture is essential to prevent injuries or further pathomechanics from taking place.

A wide footbed is also an important thing to look for in sandals for wide feet. This will support normal foot and leg functioning, preventing compensation and the painful conditions that may arise as a result.

While we can all agree that style is subjective, the PCSole sandals were a crowd favorite for their aesthetics.
