If you have been blessed with wide or narrow feet, you may have found finding comfortable, well fitting walking boots a challenge -this is where we can help! We have walking boots available in 5 different widths;
We even have half sizes! This gives you over 170+ different fitting options to choose from!
We don’t rely on just one brand for our width fittings, we have carefully sourced walking boots from brands in the UK and across Europe so we can provide you with a range of walking boots that cater to feet of varying widths and shapes. If you’re curious to know which brands and boots made the list we can give you a hint – not all of our boots are on the website but we can tell you that we are the largest stockist of Altberg walking boots and even have limited edition models exclusive to us – you can’t find them anywhere else. We are also proud stockists of Meindl, Hanwag, Scarpa and Lowa.
Once our specially trained fitters have measured and analysed your feet as part of our free multi-award winning Specialist Boot Fitting Service, they will use their in-depth knowledge of the brands and expertise of the footwear to match your foot to the footwear as closely as possible. We can even customise the fit of the footwear using our specialist machinery. This process is done in store, whilst you wait and only takes about 10 minutes.
walking boots for WIDE feet
If you have wide or extra wide feet you will have probably been faced with the following dilemma when buying walking boots;
Choice One – squeeze your feet into walking boots that are too narrow in the hope they will ‘break-in’
Choice Two – Go up a size in walking boots to get more width at the front but risk your feet hurting elsewhere as a result e.g. blisters at the heel from the heel lifting
It’s a tough choice with painful risks!
At Whalley Warm & Dry we remove this dilemma completely – if you have wide feet, we will make sure you are fitted in wide fitting walking boots with plenty of space at the forefoot to avoid crushing your toes. You will be able to give your toes a wriggle- this has come as a surprise to some of our wide feet walking customers as they have never been able to do this before in walking boots! The wide fit walking boots won’t only fit well at the front, we will make sure the whole foot, including the heel, is comfortable and secure. With a number of wide and extra-wide fitting boots to choose from, there’s no reason for you to squeeze your feet into walking boots again!
walking boots for narrow feet
If you have narrow feet you will probably have been faced with a seemingly endless struggle to find boots that hold your feet and don’t cause your heel to lift at the back. Most walking boots leave your feet swimming around and cause your feet to bash into the sides of the footwear. With each pair of walking boots you try on you desperately wonder how you can make them fit.
You may have been forced to resort to extreme measures to get a walking boot to feel like it fits. The most common approach is to try wearing more pairs of socks or thicker socks to remove some of the excess space inside the boots but you may have chosen a riskier strategy and bought a smaller pair of boots. Unfortunately going down a size in walking boots to get a snugger fit can all too often result in very sore toes and even the loss of toenails- ouch!
At Whalley Warm & Dry, if you have narrow feet we will fit you in a narrow fitting walking boot that gently holds the whole foot, including the heel. You won’t need to go for a smaller size, the narrow fitting walking boots will be the right length so you won’t risk your toes hitting the front of the boots.
