Updated June 6, 2026, 10:33 AM EDT Bethany Heitman Contributing Editor Skip to table of contents According to podiatrists, wide toe box shoes can keep your feet comfortable and help prevent things like bunions and corns. Birkenstock; Asics If the sides of your shoes rub against your big toe or pinky toe, they are not wide enough — which means it may be time to consider shoes with a wide toe box. “This type of shoe is created with a more natural foot shape that widens at the top of the shoe (known as the toe box),” says Dr. Alissa Kuizinas , a board-certified podiatrist in Boston. “This allows space for your toes to splay and spread, so they can bend and flex naturally as you walk.” Beyond being more comfortable, sneakers with a wide toe box have a variety of other benefits. “They allow for better balance and stability, reducing the risk of tripping or falling,” says Dr. Isaac Tabari, a board-certified foot and ankle doctor and owner of NYC Podiatry Center of Excellence . To help you find the best shoes with wide toe boxes, we asked experts what to look for while shopping and got their recommendations for footwear worth considering. Selected.
