Understand shoe width sizing (B, D, EE) and find your perfect fit
| Width Category | Width Letters | Foot Measurement (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Narrow | B, C | 3.2-3.6" |
| Medium | D | 3.6-4.0" |
| Wide | EE, EEE, EEEE | 4.0-4.4" |
| Extra Wide | EEEEE, EEEEEE | Varies by brand |
Tip: Width sizes vary by brand. Always check the specific brand's sizing guide when available.
Shoe width letters like B, D, EE indicate how wide a shoe is at its widest point. These letters follow a standardized system but can vary slightly between countries and brands. For example, a "D" width is considered standard/medium for men's shoes but wide for women's shoes.
To find your perfect shoe width:
D width is standard/medium for men's shoes and wide for women's shoes in the US system.
Yes, EE indicates a wider fit than E. Each additional E represents more width.
In US sizing, EEEE (4E) is typically the widest commonly available width, though some brands offer even wider options.
Important: Always try shoes on when possible, as width sizing isn't completely standardized across brands. What fits as "D" in one brand might fit differently in another.
