Shoes for swollen feet

1 | Adjustable fit is key

Look for shoes with adjustable straps, laces, or Velcro closures. At Wolky, we’re big fans of these types of closures. You may have seen it in our collection: many of our shoes have laces and many of our sandals feature adjustable Velcro straps. This way, you can loosen them when your feet swell and tighten them when needed – flexibility is everything!

Wolky’s pick: Liana XW

The Liana sandal has a wide fit and is optimally adjustable for your feet. With three Velcro closures, you can adjust these shoes for swollen feet however you like.

2 | Wide and deep toe box

Shoes with a roomy toe box give your toes space to breathe and prevent unnecessary pressure. It also keeps your feet from feeling squished.  

Wolky’s pick: Tarda XW/WR

This sturdy lace-up shoe has a super-roomy toe box. It’s perfect for people with fuller feet or a higher instep. Thanks to the Tarda’s rounded front, there’s extra space for your toes. The standard width of this shoe is W, but we’ll let you in on a secret: if you replace the footbed with a thinner version, it becomes a guideline width of WW.

3 | Soft, high-quality materials

Avoid stiff or rigid materials that can dig into your feet. Instead, opt for soft leather and stretchable fabrics. You’re in the right place with Wolky. We use only top-quality materials, so you know you’re getting shoes that feel as good as they look!

Wolky’s pick: Motion XW
Even though all of our shoes for swollen feet are made of high-quality materials, we had to pick one – so Motion XW it is! This wide-fit Mary Jane shoe offers extra room at the instep and additional space at the big toe joint, making it perfect for wide or swollen feet.

4 | Cushioned and supportive insoles

A well-cushioned footbed helps absorb shock and reduces pressure on sensitive areas. Memory foam or anatomically shaped footbeds (both of which you’ll find in Wolky shoes) provide extra comfort and keep your feet happy.

Wolky’s pick: Jewel XW
It’s tough to choose just one since every Wolky shoe features an anatomically shaped footbed! But if we have to pick, the Jewel XW represents our insoles well. The footbed is lined in high-quality leather, which feels wonderfully soft to the touch. Made of cork, it provides excellent cushioning, and with an added layer of memory foam, you get extra softness. Double the cushioning means double the comfort!  

5 | Easy to put on and take off

If your feet tend to swell, the last thing you want is to struggle to squeeze into your shoes. Slip-on styles, stretchy openings, and zippers can make life a whole lot easier.

Wolky’s pick: Nomad

Just one look at these shoes for swollen feet, and you’ll see why they’re our top pick. The Nomad has an open-back design, meaning you can slip in and out in no time. And with not one, not two, but three adjustable Velcro straps, you can customize the fit of our shoes for swollen feet however you like.  

6 | Lightweight and breathable design

Heavy shoes can make swollen feet feel even more uncomfortable. Opt for lightweight designs with breathable materials to keep your feet cool and comfy all day.

Wolky’s pick: Calypso XW
Our lightweight lace-up shoe, Calypso XW, is perfectly light. The lightweight sole effectively absorbs shocks, making it super comfortable to walk in. No more dragging your feet at the end of the day! And with the adjustable laces, you can tie them however you like.
