Even better than most such fads, they actually have tangible benefits and a practical purpose.

Apart from plain, being more comfortable to wear and saving your feet a world of pain, wide-fit boots also prevent a host of foot conditions and ailments from affecting you.

In a busy modern world like ours where we have to be at multiple places, comfort for feet and walking comes first. Before you go and order that pair of wide-fit boots, here are the features and aspects you should look out for:

• Toe Space

You are after all buying a wide-fit boot for your comfort, so buy one which has ample space for your toes and does not force them together tightly. The problems of that are many so choose one which is not too large but still provides some breathing space for your toes

• Sole

The sole of your boot should be thick, shock absorbent, and comfortable.

You don’t want your feet to ache from all that walking in London so choose a sole which is firm but easy on the steps.

Also choose soles that complement the arcs of your feet and are suited for them, whether you have more curves or are flat-footed. The inappropriate sole will cause you pain and weakness even if you have sufficient toe space

• Calf Space

The calf wrapping part of boots is what separates them from shoes after all. Pick wide-fit boots which have ample breathing room for the calves and don’t constrict them.

Applying constricted pressure on any part or limb of the body is not good for your health or blood circulation.

Tight-fitting boots around the calves will also deteriorate quickly due to strain and pressure on them. Choose those which fit nicely but have some room apart from the skin.
