Wide Foot Recommendations For Pointy Shoes

[fashionlover7]

Hi! I have standard wide feet (C or W) in shoes. I love pointy shoes especially the pump versions. I also love luxury designer shoes so of course this is a difficult combination. I really don’t want to give these up so I’m wondering if any people with wide feet and wear pointy shoes have any recommendations. I understand they are good brands such as Naturalizer or Clarks, but I’m strictly searching for luxury. These are brands I’ve researched that I’ve heard good things about:

Stuart Weitzman (seems like the gold standard)
Salvatore Feragammo
Prada
Valentino
Aquazurra
Chanel

I could be incorrect though so any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have a wider ball of the foot and narrower heel. I would suggest adding Manolo to your list. I like Chanel and Valentino too, and I don’t recommend Dior personally except for the Act 1 sandal. Although Hermes sandals are not pointy pumps, I would recommend Orans and chypres should you ever be interested. If you wanted Hermes pointy boots or pumps, I suggest sizing way up.

I have wide feet and have a couple pairs of Dior J'adior sling back pumps in the wide size (denoted by a D, so I was told when I bought them).

They're very comfortable. My recommendation is you must try them in store (not order online) as I find Dior sizing inconsistent.

I don't have wide feet but I agree with @caruava Dior J'adior sling backs have a nice toe box that I find to be relatively roomy.

I think another good one would be Jimmy Choo. They have some similar-looking pumps (ie. Romy vs Love) but with varying toe box shapes so it's best to try them on in stores. I find them to be more forgiving than other brands (ie. CL and YSL).

Another thing to consider would be material.
I find suede to be the most comfortable, easiest to break into, and will stretch the most. (Giorgio Armani and Brunello Cucinelli have some nice suede pumps)
Then comes the standard calfskin leather, which I find also relatively easy to break into and will stretch a bit.
Patent basically never stretches, is very stiff, and I would not recommend for those with wider feet.

Sarah flint… not a pricey as true luxury brands, but I find her pumps comfortable

i have wide feet and a narrow heel and jimmy choo romy are the best for me. also have some manolos and prada, both of which i've kept solely because they're beautiful... because nothing compares to the comfort of the romy for me. also interesting, i can only wear them in 4" (haven't tried 3/3.5 but they may work as well?), but the flats are torturous.
