What does “shoe width K” mean?

Shoe width K is a special width for particularly wide feet. Thanks to the generous volume in the forefoot area, even extremely large feet will find sufficient space and comfort. For a good, comfortable feeling when walking, the right width is just as important as the right shoe size. Shoes in width K give you an important indication when purchasing them that they are suitable for wide feet.

Who are shoes in width K suitable for?

Shoes in width K are suitable for large feet. But what exactly does "large feet" mean?
It's easy to determine whether shoe width K is the right width for your feet. It's helpful to have someone help you measure your ball width.
Place a tape measure around the widest part of your foot. This is always the area from the ball of your big toe to the ball of your little toe in the forefoot area. Stand upright and place weight on your foot. To determine the correct width, you'll need your regular shoe size—that is, the length of your foot. You can now consult our shoe width chart to determine the correct shoe width for your foot. For a shoe size of 39 and a ball circumference of 24.8 cm, width K should be the right fit.
In this small section of our table you can see at which ball circumference the shoe width K is recommended.

Width K shoes aren't just suitable for naturally large and voluminous feet. They're also recommended for the following:

• Feet that tend to retain water – for example during pregnancy
• Foot deformities such as hallux valgus or hammer toes which also require more space in the shoe
• Foot deformities

Are there modern shoes in width K?

Yes, yes, and yes again. Wide feet and modern, beautiful shoes are no longer mutually exclusive. You're not alone; many people have large feet or foot deformities. Don't let advertising images of ideal, delicate feet unsettle you. Accept your feet as they are and treat yourself and your body to the greatest possible comfort by paying attention to your shoe width.

We know it's not easy to find a beautiful and modern shoe in width K. We place great importance on offering you a great selection. Whether it's slippers, lace-ups, sneakers, mules, or sandals in width K – the models sell out quickly. So don't hesitate to order your selection to your home. Try on the shoes to see if they fit you right. And ultimately: Enjoy the freedom of your feet.
At Schuhglück you will find a wide selection of shoes in width K.

Sandals and open-toed shoes in width K are characterized by a comfortable fit and good support. We recommend adjustable straps for slightly swollen feet—this allows you to adjust the width as needed.

K-width sneakers are lace-up shoes with a comfortable width and a sporty look. It doesn't always have to be a sneaker. High-quality leather shoes with a sporty look also add that certain extra touch of casualness to your outfit.

Slippers and moccasins in width K must fit the foot perfectly. Integrated stretch inserts ensure a comfortable fit.

Ankle boots and boots in width K are often generously comfortable. Thick socks or the desire for cozy, warm-lined boots often exacerbate the problem for wide feet. Boots in width K are a good choice here, as they accommodate the needs of large feet, even in winter footwear. With boots, you should also pay attention to the shaft width. Shoe width refers primarily to the width of the shoe. If you need a little more room around your calf, pay attention to the shaft widths in L, XL, or XXL.

Slippers in width K offer extra comfort at home. If you don't have the convenience of underfloor heating or prefer comfortable slippers, you should also consider the K width when choosing slippers. Because your feet spend several hours in your shoes every day – whether at home or on the go – give your feet the freedom they need for healthy well-being.

Best regards – your Schuhglück team.
