Enter your shoe size and foot width in CM to find your shoe width category.
This shoe width calculator identifies whether you need Narrow, Medium (Standard), Wide, or Extra Wide shoes based on the actual width measurement of your foot. US shoe widths are labeled with letters — for men, B (narrow), D (medium), 2E/EE (wide) and 4E (extra wide) — and the correct width for your shoe size depends on both your foot length and width measurement. This tool takes both into account.
How to Measure Shoe Width
- Stand on paper on a hard floor and trace your foot outline.
- Find the widest part of the tracing — typically across the ball of the foot (the widest knuckle area).
- Measure straight across the widest point in centimeters.
- Enter your shoe size and that measurement above to find your width category.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure shoe width?
Stand on paper, trace your foot, and measure straight across the widest point — usually the ball of the foot — in centimeters. Compare to the width chart for your shoe size.
What is D width in men's shoes?
D width is the standard (medium) width for men's shoes. Most men's shoes sold without a width label are D width.
What is 2E shoe width?
2E (EE) is Wide width for men — approximately 11.1 cm at US size 9. For women, the equivalent is D width.
My foot is wider than Extra Wide — what do I do?
Look for brands that specialize in wide widths: New Balance (up to 6E), Brooks, and Altra all offer extended widths. Custom orthotics and wide-toe-box shoes like Altra's zero-drop models can also help.
Does shoe width affect shoe length conversion?
No — US, UK, EU, and CM size conversions are all based on foot length only. Width is a separate measurement and does not change your length size.
