If you have wide feet, you know just how frustrating it can be to find a pair of shoes that don't squeeze, constrict or dig in. That especially holds true for flats — even if they're technically the right size, you end up feeling like one of Cinderella's stepsisters as you try to wedge your foot inside. Well, that's all once upon a time. Amazon shoppers have singled out a particular pair of flats that are perfect for wide feet while being ridiculously affordable. In fact, these are so inexpensive, that you can't afford not to buy every color. Meet the Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Ballet Flats. These shoes — an Amazon bestseller in their category — are wide, comfy and available in 25 colors. And they're just $20 on sale now!
With a cushioned memory foam insole and a non-slip sole, it's easy to see why over 50,000 Amazon shoppers have given these cute ballet flats a five-star rating. They're made from soft faux-leather and come in a delightful variety of 23 styles. Sizes range from 5 to 15 and there are both regular and wide sizes to choose from. Just a little tip: some shoppers suggest they might run a bit small, so if you're between sizes, it could be a good idea to size up.
"These ballet flats couldn't be better for the price. They are so comfortable with a nice amount of padding, and super cute! I sized up a half a size and they fit perfectly. I now own them in two colors and will probably get more," gushed one fan.
The magic lies in the shape and the material. The rounded toe is way easier on the tootsies than a pointy profile. The sole is super bendy, and the upper is made of a buttery soft faux leather with a faux suede lining. Gently elasticated trim helps the shoe mold to your foot's unique shape.
Over 42,000 shoppers have given these shoes a perfect five-star review, including many with wide feet.
"I have the worst feet ever," shared one shopper. "They're wide, and flats always seem to pinch the end of my foot and give my heel blisters. These are so so soft and comfy."
Another loves them so much, she wore them to her son's wedding: "I have wide feet AND bunions," she reported. "I am singing a Hallelujah! They are comfy from the very first minute!!! I usually wear an 8.5 and ordered the 8.5 wide. PERFECT fit!"
Have a hard-to-shop-for shoe size? These are available from a size 5 to a size 15 (and yes, they come in half sizes, too) in wide and regular widths.
"I have very odd feet (puffy, gout), and it is hard to shop for certain shoes," lamented one shopper. "I gave these a chance in a 13 wide, and am glad I sized up. These fit wonderfully and do not irritate my high in-step. I love how quickly they came and how nice they look and feel."
