What do extra wide trainer brands have in store for us in 2025?
Lots of trainer and footwear brands offer trainers in a wider fitting. These are typically in an E width fitting. Even popular brands like Pavers, Clarks and Hotter only really go up to a EE fitting.
Our customers usually need a wider fitting than this and are usually looking for an extra wide trainer fitting. They may have naturally very wide feet, or suffer from a foot condition which requires a wider or deeper fit. So we only stock, what we call, the genuine wider fit brands. Brands which include wider widths such as 4E and above. These widths are extra wide and offer the room our customers need.
Established wide fit trainer brands such as Fitville, Skechers, DB Shoes, Cosyfeet and New Balance offer genuine extra wide trainers. Basically widths you won't find on the high street unless you visit a specialist wide fitting shoe shop.
So let's take a look at what each of the major extra wide trainer brands has in store for us in 2025!
Fitville Extra Wide Trainers
We feel the Fitville brand will be one to watch this year. They have only been around for a few years but they already have an impressive line up of extra wide trainers, and are regularly adding new styles and variants into the mix!
We have been given an exclusive peek into the trainer styles they have coming this year, and we are impressed!
Their styles for Spring and Summer 2025 combine a stylish aesthetic with impressive comfort features. They will be launching dedicated wide-fit golf and running shoes in the summer.
We have managed to secure early delivery of some of their expected best sellers. Widths go up to 6E—perfect if you suffer from swollen feet. We recommend securing your pair of their extra wide trainers early, as we expect to sell out quickly.

Waldlaufer Extra Wide Trainers
Waldlaufer is a welcome newcomer to the wide-fit market.
They are a popular German brand but relatively unheard of here in the UK.
As you might expect from a German brand, their shoes are extremely well-made, but we have been really impressed with their styling.
Waldlaufer is targeting a younger audience who have wider feet. This section of the wide-fit market has been largely ignored until the last year or two. Manufacturers such as Waldlaufer are finally catching up to the fact that people of all ages have wide feet, and foot conditions such as bunions, hammer toes, and oedema are not limited to the elderly.
Waldlaufer trainers are aimed at the casual wearer rather than the gym bunny, with interesting design features such as side zips for easy access.
Things To Love About Waldlaufer Extra Wide Trainers
- Aimed at a younger, more image conscious market: Waldlaufer have noted there is a big gap in the market. Younger people have wide feet too and Waldlaufer are look to offer them something fresh and more design led than more established brands.
- Waldlaufer offer excellent craftsmanship and quality materials: Waldlaufer are a German brand and the attention to detail is evident in all their new styles. The styling is quite European. We wouldn't be surprised to learn their lead design is Italian!
