The Proper Width
Wearing shoes that fit properly can help with foot conditions and problems but wearing shoes that are the wrong size or width can lead to foot problems and make existing foot problems even worse. That’s why it’s important to wear the right size and choose the correct width shoes.

Did you know that 88% of women wear shoes that are too small and 70% of men wear the wrong size? That’s according to a study conducted by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.

The right width is especially important to prevent long-term damage to your foot. A shoe that’s too narrow or doesn’t allow enough depth or room in the toe box can cause cramping and undo stress on the delicate ligaments and muscles of the foot and toes.
An Improper fit can lead to stability issues, resulting in injury. It can deform your toes or lead to blisters, painful callouses, and aggravate existing foot conditions.
If you already suffer from a foot condition such as hammertoes, metatarsalgia, bunions, or diabetes, the right width and size can make a night and day difference in how your feet feel.

At Drew, we carry one of the largest varieties of widths and sizes of any shoe company. That’s because we want you to have the perfect fit. Every time.
